One of the two Republicans on the committee said the panel had proven a criminal case against Trump.
He said during an interview with CNN that this was the greatest effort to overturn the will of the people since the Civil War. I think we have proved that.
Legal experts say that the evidence gathered by the House select committee could mean that Trump has broken at least five federal laws.
Kinzinger told reporters that the committee wouldn't be able to prosecute Trump so he couldn't make a prosecutorial judgement. The Justice Department can be informed of criminal conduct by its members.
Kinzinger said that Trump has criminal exposure.
"If you look at what we presented tonight, and then all these hearings, that cannot be accepted from the president of the United States," he said.
According to former Justice Department officials, there is enough evidence to prosecute a former president.
One police officer was killed in the Capitol riot. The Proud Boys are a hate group and were also present.
Despite Joe Biden's election victory, organizers were encouraged by Donald Trump's calls to protest the results of the election. While members of Congress were meeting in the Capitol to certify the results and verify Biden's electoral win, Trump supporters staged an attempted coup.
The insurrectionists deleted photos and social-media posts that proved they participated in the Capitol riot. Some broke their phones, scrubbed their social media accounts, and tried to wipe their hard drives of evidence of their involvement.
It was easier for the FBI to identify and charge those who boasted of their involvement. More than 800 people have been charged in connection with the insurrection.
