House January 6 committee member says his main concerned is not seeing the DOJ charge Trump: 'Our democracy is on the line here. Our Constitution is at stake'

The congressman's main interest isn't whether or not the DOJ files charges against the president.

Raskin was asked if he would be disappointed if the Justice Department didn't charge Donald Trump.

The member of the House committee investigating the January 6 riots said that he didn't care about that. The future of our democracy is at stake here. Our constitution is on the line.

His comments came after a number of public hearings.
