Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill, said Sunday that criminal charges against the people involved in trying to overturn the 2020 election -- including former President Donald Trump -- were not his “principal interest" compared to understanding how the violence unfolded to avoid it being repeated. "So, for me, I'm principally interested in telling the American people the truth so we can fortify our institution against coups and insurrections going forward," Raskin continued. "But I know that there’s a great public hunger for individual criminal accountability, and I’ve got confidence in the Department of Justice, in Attorney General Merrick Garland, to do the right thing in terms of making all the difficult decisions about particular cases," he said.
