• Obstruction of an official proceeding. The “proceeding” being the Jan. 6 meeting of Congress itself.
• Conspiracy to defraud the United States. The committee argued that this happened in multiple ways, including Trump’s lies about the 2020 election and then-Vice President Pence’s role in certification among other issues.
• Conspiracy to knowingly make a false statement. The committee said Trump broke this statute by participating in a plot to submit fake slates of electors.
• Assisting, aiding or comforting an insurrection. The committee believes Trump incited the U.S. Capitol attack, but notes he was impeached on that charge already. The report summary specifically concludes there is enough evidence to convict and, therefore, to charge Trump with “assisting, aiding or comforting” the insurrection. The focus here is on his actions as the attack unfolded — and his lack of action in not moving to stop it.

• Former Trump attorney John Eastman. The committee concluded there is enough evidence to convict Eastman on obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the United States. He was a critical voice behind the theories that Pence could stop the election certification and that alternate slates of electors could change the results.
• “Co-conspirators.” Other Trump allies, like former chief of staff Mark Meadows and lawyer Rudolph Giuliani, are named as “co-conspirators” in the Jan. 6’s executive summary, but not referred for charges on them specifically.
• Ethics review. The panel also flagged four GOP lawmakers — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, and Andy Biggs of Arizona — for a potential ethics investigation because they all refused to comply with congressional subpoenas.

• Using lies and provocation. Starting election night 2020, the committee’s report summary states that “Donald Trump purposely disseminated false allegations of fraud” in order to overturn the election outcome and raise money. Those lies directly provoked his supporters on Jan. 6.
• Not honoring the Constitution. Trump did not honor his constitutional obligation to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” the committee concluded, but instead plotted to overturn the election outcome.
• Pressuring Pence. Trump knew it was illegal, but he “corruptly pressured” then-Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to count electoral votes on Jan. 6, the committee found.
• Targeting the Department of Justice. According to the committee, Trump tried to convince DOJ officials to lie to help overturn the election. When that failed, he offered the job of acting attorney general to a man — Jeffrey Clark — who, according to past witness testimonies, planned to do those things.
• Pressuring state officials. Without evidence and against the law, Trump pressured state officials and lawmakers to change the election results.
• False electors. Trump oversaw an effort to create and submit false electoral certificates to Congress and the National Archives.
• Pressuring members of Congress. Trump pressured members of Congress to object to several states’ electors.
• False information in court. Trump “purposely verified false information” filed in federal court.
• Summoning and provoking the crowd. Trump summoned tens of thousands of supporters to Washington with baseless claims of election fraud. Although those supporters were known to be angry and armed, he instructed them to march to the Capitol to “take back” their country.
• Condemning Pence during the attack. On Jan. 6, Trump purposely went on social media and condemned Pence, knowing the attack was underway and his own words would incite more violence.
• Failing to act. For hours, Trump watched the attack but refused repeated calls to tell his supporters to end the violence and leave the Capitol.
• Conspiracy. These actions by Trump were each part of a “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn the results of the 2020 election, the committee found.

• Prior warning of plans for violence. Intelligence agencies and law enforcement knew that militia groups led by the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers were planning violence on Jan. 6 and that information was shared with the Secret Service, the National Security Council and others in the executive branch.
• Left-wing groups were not significantly involved. “Antifa” and left-wing groups were not involved “to any material extent” on Jan. 6. In addition, in the days before the attack, intelligence did detect any signs pointing to left-wing violence.
• Intelligence and law enforcement missed Trump’s plans. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies did not understand the full extent of Trump, Rudy Giuliani and others’ plans to try to overturn the election results. The agencies “did not (and potentially could not) anticipate” Trump’s provocations of the crowd and the scale of the violence on Jan. 6. No advance assessment from the intelligence community predicted Trump’s behavior.
• U.S. Capitol Police were unprepared, but other forces were more proactive. Capitol Police leadership did not expect and was not prepared for the scale of the attack. Prior to Jan. 6, the Capitol Police chief suggested the idea of bringing in help from the National Guard, but the Capitol Police Board did not request it. The Washington Metropolitan Police Department was more proactive and ultimately deployed about 800 officers. DOJ also anticipated that the day could become violent and had a group of agents ready outside of Washington.
• Miscommunication at the Pentagon; no assistance from Trump. There was “likely miscommunication” by civilian leaders at the Pentagon, which delayed sending help to the Capitol, the committee concluded. It also stated that there is no evidence this was intentional. The committee found that Trump never gave an order to send the National Guard or any other federal support to the Capitol. (The decision to deploy the National Guard was delegated to the Pentagon.)

Although the timing can still change, the panel’s full report is expected to be publicly released as early as Wednesday, when Americans will get more details on all of these findings.

The committee’s lengthy report is expected to include legislative recommendations and additional materials around Trump’s role on Jan. 6.
