Border policy extended - Historic conservation agreement - Jan. 6 criminal referrals

Source: Associated Press

1. Summary
   The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 capitol riot released a summary of its final report on Monday, and made criminal referrals to the Department of Justice against former President Trump. The referrals are historic but largely symbolic, as the Justice Department is not obligated to act on them and is conducting its own investigation.
   
   The committee described Trump as the "central cause" of the riot, and alleged he knew his actions to pressure VP Mike Pence and state officials to challenge the results were illegal. It recommends Trump be charged for obstruction of an official proceeding, defrauding the United States, making false statements, and conspiracy to incite an insurrection.
   
   “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger,” Trump said in response. “These folks don’t get it that when they come after me, people who love freedom rally around me. It strengthens me.” The panel also recommended four GOP lawmakers be charged for failing to comply with subpoenas, including House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy.
