Democrat representative Jamie Raskin, a member of the House 6 January committee, has said that former president Donald Trump will \u201cget his comeuppance\u201d over the attack on the US Capitol. <\/p>\n
Suggesting that criminal charges may soon be brought against the former president, Mr Raskin labelled Mr Trump \u201cguilty as sin\u201d and called him a \u201cone-man crime wave\u201d in an interview with Salon. <\/p>\n
While the committee can not itself bring criminal charges against Mr Trump, it can refer any criminal findings to attorney general Merrick Garland. <\/p>\n
The House committee on the insurrection at Capitol is set to begin its public hearings this month. A series of eight prime-time televised hearings will begin from 9 June as it tries to uncover what led to the attack, and the role of the former president. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Mr Trump\u2019s close aide Peter Navarro, who served as a White House adviser and worked to keep Mr Trump in office after his defeat, has been summoned to testify on Thursday to a federal grand jury.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump will get his comeuppance,\u201d he said in the interview. \u201cI know how maddening and frustrating it is to people. I share that feeling, having been an impeachment manager…He\u2019s as guilty as sin.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a one-man crime wave, and it\u2019s amazing that his dad\u2019s money and this pack of lawyers that he travels with have been able get him off everything up until now,\u201d Mr Raskin said.<\/p>\n
