Donald Trump was acquitted by the Senate last year of inciting the Capitol insurrection. It is uncertain if Trump or any of his top advisers will ever face charges over the attack in a court of law. Lawmakers on the House committee want Attorney General Garland to investigate Trump and his associates. They have laid out possible crimes in at least one court filing and openly discussed others, all related to the violent attack by Trump supporters on Congress. Here is a look at some of the suggested crimes. The United States is being DEFRAUDED by criminals. After floating possible crimes for several months, lawmakers on the panel put it on paper for the first time. The filing was in response to a lawsuit that was filed by a lawyer and law professor who was working with Trump while trying to overturn the election. The committee believes that Trump and his allies entered into an agreement to cheat the United States. There is an official consecration. David Carter appeared to be swayed by the panel's arguments. Carter wrote that the court finds it more likely than not that President Trump tried to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021. In the filing, the committee argued that Trump either tried or succeeded at obstructing, influencing, or interfering with the ceremonial process on January 6 and that he did so corruptly by pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the results as he presided over the session. It was not possible for Pence to do so. During the January 6 Joint Session of Congress, the President tried to use the Vice President to manipulate the results in his favor, even though he knew he had not won enough legitimate state electoral votes to be declared the winner of the 2020 Presidential election. There is a common law fraud. There is a charge of common law fraud or false representation of facts with the knowledge that they are false. Trump embarked on a campaign to convince the public and federal judges that the 2020 election was fraudulent and that he, not Biden, won the Electoral College tally. Election officials and courts across the country rejected those claims. The committee noted in the filing that a Justice Department official told Trump that a Facebook video posted by his campaign was false and that Georgia officials were pulling suitcases of ballots from under a table. Georgia officials denied the claim many times. The committee said that the president continued to rely on this allegation in his efforts to overturn the results of the election. There is a reduction of duty. The leaders of the House panel suggested earlier this year that Trump could be held responsible for the actions of his supporters. Bennie Thompson, the committee chairman, said in January that the president's failure to act during the siege of the Capitol was hurting the country. The committee knows from first hand testimony that Trump watched the attack happen on television. Cheney said it was hard to imagine a more serious failure of duty than Trump's failure to quell the insurrection. There are financial crimes. The committee has created an internal task force to investigate the financing of the rally and any donors who may have contributed to the violence. Thompson said members of the committee have some concerns, but they have not made those concerns public. Thompson said that it was concerning that people raised money for one activity, and they couldn't find the money spent for that activity. Financing is one of the things that we will continue to look at very closely. There is no certainty as to what will happen. More than 800 rioters have been arrested for crimes related to the insurrection. Legal consequences have been elusive for Trump and the other top officials who lied about election fraud. Congress can send criminal referrals to the Justice Department. Garland can make a decision. Justice Department action is not guaranteed. It's not certain if the charges against the president would hold up in court. It could be hard for prosecutors to win a case against Trump. The presodemt went back to the White House and watched his supporters break into the Capitol on television. The rioters beat police and disrupted the certification of President Joe Biden's victory. A WSJ poll shows that more Americans back a 15-week abortion ban. A man from Alabama was sentenced to nearly four years in prison on Friday for his role in last year's riot near the U.S. Capitol.

The son-in-law of the former President testified before the House select committee about the attack on the U.S. Capitol. The 7-hour gap in the White House phone log raises questions.

The Biden administration may soon consider exemptions to a ban on financing of new carbon-intensive fossil fuel projects overseas, a senior U.S. official said. In December, President Joe Biden ordered the U.S. agencies to stop financing coal, gas and other projects. If a country faced severe consequences if it was unable to build a plant burning fossil fuels, the order provided exemptions.

After the 1974 oil embargo, the idea of a strategic petroleum reserve rose in popularity.
