Introducing the January 6th Hearings Criminal Evidence Tracker

The January 6th Select Committee’s first hearing was compelling. As with Watergate and other historic congressional proceedings, Thursday night will be long remembered and shows every sign of kicking off a month of important revelations about how President Donald Trump and his allies tried to subvert American democracy. Among the most striking moments were Vice Chair Liz Cheney’s dissection of the potential criminal case against Donald Trump. While she has no power to prosecute him, she sketched a compelling case for federal or state criminal charges against Trump in her presentation of the evidence.

The questions of criminality raised by Cheney, and also by Chair Bennie Thompson, are central to these hearings and even more so to ultimate accountability. After all, on their own, the committee has no power to impose actual consequences for Trump’s misconduct they have substantiated through over 1,000 interviews, more than 140,000 pages of documents and much more evidence. Only federal or state prosecutors can do that.

Accordingly, the authors are publishing in Just Security the enclosed evidence trackers of three federal and state crimes potentially committed by the former president. We will update these trackers after each hearing to show the accumulation of new evidence as to each of these criminal offenses. These inaugural charts are a baseline established by compiling key details that were already in the public record and supplemented by what we learn during the first hearing. We believe readers can judge for themselves the evidence and strength of the case through these detailed findings.
