The House select committee is investigating the assault on the Capitol.

When the bipartisan panel releases its final report this summer, it will recommend that the U.S. Attorney General prosecute the former President Trump and several of his associates.

The Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence is a public interest law firm affiliated with the conservative think tank the Claremont Institute.

The fringe legal theory was advanced after Trump's loss to Joe Biden, that Vice President Mike Pence could stop the certification of the 2020 election. After consultation with several people, including former Vice President Dan Quayle, it was concluded that he had no power under the Constitution to stop the certification of the election.

According to the court filing, Trump and his associates entered into an agreement to defraud the United States by interfering with the election certification process, spreading false information about election fraud, and pressuring state officials to alter state election results.

Congress does not have the power to initiate a criminal investigation or bring charges against Trump and his co-conspirators. The Justice Department and federal prosecutors will determine if Trump's actions after the election amounted to crimes against the state.

Garland has sought to insulate the Justice Department from partisan interference after years in which Trump pressured the agency to prosecute political rivals.

The racketeers-in-chief is facing an onslaught of criminal investigations and civil lawsuits, notably, the high-profile cases involving the former president.

More than a dozen civil lawsuits have been filed against Trump for an array of alleged lawlessness, including defamation, civil conspiracy and assaults on Capitol police officers.

The first former president to be indicted for crimes as commander-in-chief could be Trump.

The Journal of White Collar and Corporate Crime and the author of Criminology on Trump will be published in May.
