The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol is planning to release its final report on Dec. 21, panel Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) told reporters on Wednesday.
Thompson said the release of the report will be accompanied by a “formal presentation,” but the details are still up in the air.
“There’ll be some form of public presentation, we haven’t decided exactly what that’ll be,” the chairman told reporters.
Thompson also said the committee will publicly vote on criminal referrals on Dec. 21. The announcement came one day after he told reporters that the panel has come to a “general agreement” to forward some criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.
The target of those referrals, however, remains uncertain. On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the panel “has determined that referrals to outside entities should be considered as a final part of its work,” but that it “will make decisions about specifics in the days ahead.”
