Was made public last week. what do you think prosecutors or how will they push the criminal referrals against trump? >> reporter: we reported last week the most likely referral the justice department would pursue is the obstruction. it is a straight forward statute. it requires corrupt intent to impede official proceeding before congress with respect to the certification and also the documents. the committee laid that out in the report the one thing the justice department will take away is the c...

Does that begin to approach the standard of saying he had intent? he knew it was a lie but used it to overturn the election. >> thanks, jim. this is crazy is itself good evidence. also, the committee was pain staking no knowing the times the president either vocal vocaliz knew he had lost or someone told him he lost the election. that will go to any number of sort of conspiracy to defraud the united states or obstruction possible obstruction charges because of the fact he knew he was committing ...
