Trump Will Still Be Able To Run In 2024 And Serve As President If Elected – Even If Jan. 6 Referrals Turn Into Criminal Charges – Or Convictions

The criminal referral of Donald Trump to the Department of Justice by a House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack is largely symbolic – the panel itself has no power to prosecute any individual. Nonetheless, the recommendation that Trump be investigated for four potential crimes – obstructing an official proceeding; conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to make a false statement; and inciting, assisting or aiding or comforting an insurrection – raises the prospect of an indictment, or even a conviction, of the former president.

Yet what made the sparring so notable is the infrequency with which two pastor politicians are even in a position to confront one another. If Warnock were to win, he would join Republican Sen. James Lankford as one of two ordained ministers in the Senate chamber. Only about 2% of members of the U.S. House of...
