The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol held its final meeting Dec. 19, 2022 to discuss Trump criminal referrals.

The House select committee has released the findings of its investigation into the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

At a final meeting on Monday, the panel's seven Democrats and two Republicans are poised to recommend criminal charges against Trump and potentially against associates and staff who helped him launch a multifaceted pressure campaign to try to overturn the 2020 election.

The Congressional Gold medals will be placed in four locations — at U.S. Capitol Police headquarters, the Metropolitan Police Department, the Capitol and the Smithsonian Institution.

Using language frequently seen in criminal indictments, the panel said Trump had acted in a "premeditated" way before Jan. 6, 2021, despite countless aides and officials telling him he had lost.

Reports that the Secret Service deleted text messages related to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection have caught the attention of the chief records officer at the National Archives.

NHPR will carry the Jan. 6 House committee's primetime hearing Thursday, July 21 at 8 pm, as well as a wrap up special from NPR Politics Friday, July 22 at 8 pm.
