Will the Jan. 6 document mention attempted obstruction of the committee’s proceedings?
The 100 page introductory document released by the Jan. 6 committee alleges that Trump had a plan to use fake voting certificates, it mentions Trump was “personally and substantially involved in multiple efforts to pressure State election officials and State legislatures to alter official lawful election results.”
Further on, the document mentions that “The Select Committee is aware of multiple efforts by President Trump to contact Select Committee witnesses. The Department of Justice is aware of at least one of those circumstances.”
Being “aware of” does not necessarily mean the DOJ will drop obstruction of justice charges into any potential plans to charge Trump with crimes, but that notice may be expanded on in the full report.
