The committee investigating the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol "is obligated" to report any crimes it uncovers to the Justice Department, according to the committee's chairman, despite calls from several legal experts that such a move would be counterproductive.
"If, in the course of our review, we find something that we think warrants review or recommendation to the Department of Justice, to be honest with you, we will do it," Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the chairman of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, said Sunday on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
"We are not looking for it," he continued. "But if we find it, we will absolutely make the referral."
As the one-year anniversary of the Capitol siege nears, the House select committee's sprawling probe is in full swing. In the past six months, the panel has interviewed more than 300 people, issued more than 50 subpoenas and obtained tens of thousands of records.
