The House Select Committee investigating the January 6th insurrection made criminal referrals to the United States Department of Justice against former President Donald Trump on Monday. Following the historic event, CNN hosted a panel to discuss what had just happened.
Host Jake Tapper spoke minutes after Rep. Bennie Thompson (R-MS) adjourned the meeting, informing viewers that “it’s never happened before that a bipartisan committee in the house of representatives has said to the justice department we think this former president committed crimes.”
CNN reporter Jamie Gangel agreed with Tapper about the unprecedented nature of the committee’s actions.
“They are sending over to the Justice Department a very specific road map of the evidence, the testimony they have collected,” she said. “Today is a very bad day for Donald Trump and a very bad day for his presidency historically.”
