The House Jan. 6 select committee has sent the Justice Department's special counsel investigating former President Donald Trump all of their documents and witness transcripts, according to multiple news report on Tuesday.
The panel began sending the evidence to Jack Smith last month after he sent the committee a letter on December 5th requesting all of their materials gathered as part of their 18-month probe, Punchbowl News reported.
Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to serve as special counsel for all Trump-related matters, including the former president's actions in relation to the January 6. 2021 insurrection and the allegations he had classified government documents at his Mar-a-Lago home.
Much of the information the panel sent over is related to Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows and attorney John Eastman, the report says.
The panel, in its recommendations on Monday, recommended that Eastman be charged alongside Trump for trying to stop the certification of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election.
Eastman had argued that Mike Pence, in his ceremonial role as vice president, could send electors back to the states. Several constitutional experts say the vice president has no such power.
He also had a plan to create fake slates of pro-Trump electors in states that Biden had actually won.

Did they get their evidence against Trump from Christopher Steele?
This extreme Trump hatred is an exercise in the surreal.
It’s as if President Trump’s divine assignment is to draw out into the open all of the demonic influence in the whole federal government.
Hopefully next year the investigation into the FBI and Jan. 6 committee begins.
I guess they finally have hard evidence that he is orange and thus bad
That is, definitely, happening.
So much for separation of powers. Hey DOJ you want funding, then take this crap we made up and stick it to Trump.
Evidence? Mean tweets and calls for peace? Reevaluations of crooked elections and capitol police opening doors? Ray Epps and no national guard support?
So they turned over an empty bag, then. Cause they have no actual ‘evidence’.
What evidence?
THEIR special agent?
The witch hunt continues.
And...it will continue until we, the People, demand it be stopped.
Do we have the will? Do we still have the numbers?
And the biggie...they denied two republicans the right to sit on the committee.
“I see a little of what you call “extreme DeSantis hatred” here, but not a lot.”
Whole threads exist.
“Personally, I have a ton of respect for Governor DeSantis.”
Did you emphasize “Governor” to keep from getting attacked by the DeSantis haters?
a difference of opinion on constitutional authority is a crime?
so when you lose a USSC decision you go to jail?
I have seen threads and posts that question DeSantis’ ability, elect-ability, respectability, etc. — just as I have seen threads and posts questioning President Trump in the same way — but “extreme DeSantis hatred” on FR is a bit of dramatic hyperbole, IMO.
... say, what happened to your Post #10? Viking Kitty get your tongue? :-)
No, I don’t fear my Free Republic FRiends. I emphasized “Governor” because that’s the role in which I respect Governor DeSantis. He is an excellent governor — I wish my governor would take an example! — and to truly be Great Again, America needs more governors like Governor DeSantis as much as it needs an outstanding fighter like President Trump in the Oval Office.
Plus, according to his own words, Governor Desantis is happy in the role of Governor of Florida and has no plans to abandon his role of Governor of Florida to chase another office.
At any rate, the simple fact-on-the-ground is, Governor DeSantis is not running for POTUS ‘24.
