'The oversight the Jan. 6 committee did was difficult, and the pursuit of justice may be even more so, but the steps we take to prevent another despot from subverting our democracy in the future may be the most challenging and consequential of all.'
This week, the House Jan. 6 committee conducted its last hearing and issued its final report. And we’ve begun releasing the voluminous evidence gathered during the course of our investigation in the form of witness interview transcripts, exhibits, text messages, emails, videos and more.
The report by the House select committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol provides a road map for potential criminal charges against Trump. There must also be reform. In the committee report, we laid out several steps that Congress must take to prevent another would-be autocrat from tearing down our democratic institutions and stopping the peaceful transfer of power.Evidence the Jan. 6 committee doesn’t release by the end of the year could be boxed away for decades or lost forever.
Even now, committee subpoenas are being litigated in the courts, their enforcement stalled by the litigious practices of Trump and his enablers. When the current session of Congress ends on Jan. 3, 2023, those subpoenas will lose their force, and would do so even if the new majority were not bent on thwarting our work. The subjects of congressional investigation should never again be able to evade oversight by exploiting the glacial speed of the courts.
