Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, told reporters Tuesday the panel is likely to make criminal referrals.
"What we've decided is that we will probably make referrals – as to how many, we've not decided on the number," he said.
Thompson added: "We have not made a decision as to who, but we have made decisions that criminal referrals will happen."
Asked whether there is a list of people the panel is considering for referrals, Thompson said, "Yes, but I can't give them to you right now."

..."Trump, the central player in the panel's investigation into the violence that erupted on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, was subpoenaed by the panel in October. Trump has not cooperated.
The committee has held a series of public hearings laying out its findings and is expected to present a comprehensive report before the end of the month.
Thompson called the report a "work in progress."
The deadline for Trump to deliver subpoenaed documents has arrived. What now?

"We're actually going over printed material now, scrubbing stuff," he said, noting the report is "quite lengthy" at eight chapters long.
The report is expected to include information that hasn't been made public during the previous hearings and the committee also plans to share hundreds of transcripts of the over 1,000 witnesses it interviewed.
Thompson said the final report will likely be introduced in "some public format," but wouldn't speculate on whether it would take the form of another public committee hearing.
The committee is set to sunset Dec. 31."
