This blog is now closed. Thank you for joining us. These were the updates from the January 6 US congressional committee’s final public meeting:

• The United States congressional panel investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol has held its last public session.
• The committee has voted unanimously to recommend charges against former President Donald Trump to the Department of Justice (DoJ).
• The DoJ has the final say on whether to file criminal charges against Trump, whose efforts to overturn the 2020 US election, the Democratic-led panel has said, culminated in the riot.
• Lawmakers also have approved a final report on their months-long probe into the Capitol attack by Trump’s supporters, which is expected to be released later this week.
