The publication reported that the Justice Department is in the early stages of discussing this route, but Fox News could not reach the department to confirm the decision. Acting U.S. Attorney for District of Columbia Michael Sherwin vowed to "bring the most maximum charges we can based upon the conduct." Neither Pelosi nor Ocasio-Cortez could be immediately reached for comment, but both have responded to the attack on the Capitol with aggressive push back. Pelosi led the charge to see President Trump impeached from the White House for the second time, following the attack. And Ocasio-Cortez has pushed to have Republican lawmakers, who objected to certain state’s Electoral College votes, removed from office.
