Donald Trump should expect a "series of indictments" relating to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, including his role in the Capitol riot, according to one of America's top legal scholars.
On Monday, the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on Congress referred Trump to the Justice Department, recommending he face criminal charges including conspiracy to defraud the United States, assisting an insurrection, and obstructing an official proceeding of Congress.
The committee also said Trump could be guilty of seditious conspiracy, the charge for which two members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia were convicted last month.
Whilst the referral itself doesn't have any legal power, Laurence Tribe, University Professor Emeritus at Harvard University, expressed confidence that the Justice Department will take further action.
