including of the rump


The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection could make multiple criminal referrals, including of former President Donald rump, the panel's vice chair, Rep. Liz Cheney, said in an interview broadcast Sunday.

"We'll make a decision as a committee about it," the Wyoming Republican told ABC News when asked about the prospect of referring rump for prosecution and saying "yes" when asked whether a referral of rump was possible.

"The Justice Department doesn't have to wait for the committee to make a criminal referral, and there could be more than one criminal referral," Cheney said.

Cheney's remarks come days after explosive testimony before the panel investigating the attack on the US Capitol from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who recalled being told of rump's anger when informed by his Secret Service detail he couldn't accompany protesters to the Capitol on January 6.
