STORYLINE:
The U.S. House select committee investigating the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, made criminal referrals to the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Monday afternoon.
The committee accused former U.S. President Donald Trump of inciting an insurrection, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement, and obstruction of an official proceeding.
The criminal referrals are not legally binding, and it is up to the DOJ to decide whether to pursue charges, according to U.S. legal analysts.
The DOJ is running its own probe into the Capitol riot, in which Trump supporters disrupted a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, to certify the 2020 presidential election results.
