The Department of Justice is investigating then-President Donald Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol as part of its criminal probe of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, an administration official familiar with the investigation said.
The inquiry is related to the department's broader probe of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and not a criminal investigation of Trump himself, the official said.
The Washington Post first reported that the Justice Department was investigating Trump's actions leading up to Jan. 6, citing four people familiar with the matter, whom it did not name. The department declined to comment on the investigation.
NBC News has reached out to a spokesperson for Trump for comment.
The Post, citing two people familiar with the matter, reported that prosecutors have asked witnesses before a grand jury about conversations with Trump. Some of the questions focused on substituting Trump allies for electors in states Joe Biden won and on a pressure campaign on then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the election, the newspaper reported.

We are not a nation of laws.
We are a nation of lawyers.
And the majority of lawyers support The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.
Interesting how the DoJ refuses to investigate real crimes, such as the 4-year long coup complete with voter fraud and manipulation but will spend all their time investigating non-crimes.
Democrats overturn the 2020 election results the Department of Justice is investigating then-President Donald Trump.
Welcome to D.C.
Boy those idiots in the Brandon admin are doing their darnest to keep President Trump out of the Oval Office because they know what will be coming if he gets back in, KARMA IN A BIGLY WAY!
The Swamp and RINOS fear Trump.
Unfortunately....100s of people were enveloped in the misdeeds of a few...there was no way out...they moved forward with the crowd, walked through the Capital and dispersed. There were enough people to destroy the Capital....damage was miniscule and if there were weapons, no one saw or heard them.
And the only person who died was an unarmed woman shot by LE...
He could have grabbed her and easily thrown her to the floor.
That maggot Garland needs to prove he’s an honest man as Jeff Sessions was and recuse himself from this commie RAT fiasco. This is nothing but revenge for President Trump denying Garland’s ass from getting a seat on the Supreme Court. This is nothing but an abuse of government power. It’s Garland who needs to be investigated and indicted.
A highly partisan rat DOJ is investigating its most likely opponent in the next presidential election. That sounds fair.
Too bad Donald Trumps name isn’t Hunter Biden.
Smoke and mirrors to fade out the 2020coup, covid1984 and biden crime family. Can’t forget obama/rice handlers as well.
If they don’t indict him, it will be because they’ve decided the blowback would be greater than whatever they’d gain.
Know anyone who would abandon Trump because he was indicted by Democrats?
Good point. Being indicted by this criminal government should be worn as a badge of honor.
Sessions was an utter pussy who may have been a deep state tool himself. What would Eric Holder have done if there were calls to recuse himself? He would have said "Recuse? How 'bout you kiss my black ass?"
And the final finding the it was all just lies and Hoax of Russia paid for by DNC and Hillary.
I agree 100%. Much like every Obammy RAT called before the “congress” jackasses during Brandon Obama administration took “the Fifth”. You didn’t see the RATS wetting their pants and pleading “guilty” to everything THEY were accused of. CONGRESS IS A FRIGGIN’ JOKE WITH THE RINO’S LEADING THE PARADE.
The corrupt DOJ would be better off investigating the DOJ. Hope and pray DJT returns and cleans up the corruption and the corrupt Garland.
Mitch denied Garland.
So what did these hearings conclude?
Trump was pissed he was cheated.
Trump raged that he was cheated.
Trump took steps to uncover the cheating.
A bunch of nitwits trespassed on the Capitol building, taking selfies along the way.
Trump didn’t stop the trespassers by murdering them en-mass like Tiananmen Square.
Where exactly does a non-corrupt DOJ come in here?
