Jan. 6 panelists: Enough evidence uncovered to indict Trump

18 Sept 02:22 Key points summarised by AI

House Jan. 6 committee members assert they've gathered sufficient evidence to recommend the Justice Department consider criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Upcoming hearings will feature key witnesses, including Trump's former campaign manager Bill Stepien, to detail the "massive effort" to spread election misinformation, pressure the Justice Department, and urge Vice President Mike Pence to block vote certification.
Lawmakers are explicitly pushing Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate and potentially prosecute Trump, acknowledging the unprecedented nature of such an action.
The committee also plans to reveal evidence of millions raised through false claims and that "multiple" GOP lawmakers sought pardons from Trump, while a federal judge has already indicated Trump "more likely than not" committed federal crimes.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
