House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) has called on the Department of Justice to prosecute everyone involved in the January 6 Capitol building attack. His call comes less than a week after The Washington Post reported that some officials were engaged in early discussions on whether or not to pursue every charge.

“It is critical that all of the perpetrators of this insurrectionist attack be identified, investigated, arrested, charged and subsequently prosecuted.
