Episode notes

Vox's Andrew Prokop talks about the January 6th House Ethics Committee hearings. The committee is done and Republicans are going to take over control of the House in less than two weeks. Trump has announced he's running again, but this report does not necessarily do anything to change that by itself. He was facing a lot of legal jeopardy already because his DOJ investigations have gotten more serious.

The January 6 committee sent the Justice Department four criminal referrals against the former president, who it alleges engaged in an elaborate criminal conspiracy to remain in office after his 2020 defeat. Vox’s Andrew Prokop explains what happens next.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh and Siona Peterous, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
