Representative Adam Schiff said Sunday that the former president incited 'a mob to attack the Capitol. If that's not criminal, then I don't know what is.'
Schiff added that the committee would not be considering criminal referrals for every individual against whom they have found evidence. Instead, it will be going after those they have the most and the strongest evidence against.
Schiff said that he did not want to say too much on how he intends to vote Monday, but added that Trump"violated multiple criminals laws" and that"he ought to be treated like any other American who breaks the law, and that is you ought to be prosecuted." The congressman further explained the various mechanisms by which a president could be held accountable for insurrection, including impeachment, the 14th Amendment, or criminal charges.
