Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of the Republicans on the Jan. 6 committee, appeared on ABC News’ “This Week” yesterday, and George Stephanopoulos asked the congressman whether he’s reached the conclusion that Donald Trump should be prosecuted.
After making clear that the House select panel is not a prosecutorial body, the Illinois Republican said, “I think what we’re presenting before the American people certainly would rise to a level of criminal involvement by a president — and definitely failure of the oath.”
It’s difficult to say with any confidence whether prosecutors will reach a similar conclusion, but if they do, they can take some solace in the fact that most Americans agree. ABC News also reported over the weekend:
In early May, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found that a 52 percent majority of Americans believed the former president should be criminally charged for his role in the insurrectionist riot.

With the first full week of hearings for the House select committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol now complete, nearly 6 in 10 Americans believe former President Donald Trump should be charged with a crime for his role in the incident, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds. Six in 10 Americans also believe the committee is conducting a fair and impartial investigation, according to the poll.
