In a historic precedent, the Commission of Inquiry into the events of the Capitol storming recommended that former President Donald Trump should be brought to justice because of his “role in the events of the storming of Congress on January 6, 2021, and his attempt to obstruct the ratification of election results and his incitement to disobedience.”

The committee urged the US Department of Justice to consider filing three criminal charges against Trump: "incitement to insurrection, obstruction of official proceedings, and conspiracy to deceive the US government."

With regard to the final decision to direct charges to the Ministry of Justice, which is not considered bound by the recommendations of the committee or Congress in this file, the decision of the committee, consisting of 9 deputies, 7 of whom are Democrats and two Republicans, is unprecedented for a former or current president and highlights The accumulated legal troubles for Trump, who previously announced his candidacy for the presidency for the year 2024.
