Diana DeGette (D-CO), one of the nine House impeachment managers who presented the case against President Trump to the Senate last year, on the bipartisan January 6 Committee\u2019s unanimous vote today to refer former President Trump to the Dept. of Justice for criminal prosecution:\n\n\u201cThis is an unprecedented moment for our country. Never before has Congress referred a former president to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, but never before has a former president incited a violent insurrection to overturn the results of a legitimate election.\n\n\u201cThe evidence presented is overwhelming. President Trump put himself above the country he swore to protect. He launched a deadly, brazen attack on the U.S. Capitol building to remain in power against the will of the people. There is no higher crime against our democracy. There is no greater betrayal of the public\u2019s trust than what President Trump did that day.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:32:05Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://degette.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/degette-statement-jan-6-committees-criminal-referral-against-donald"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6929319351911545, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
