Hint, if the Jan 6, 2021 call was false, it is correct to send it to the State Legislatures.

WASHINGTON—The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol said in a court filing Wednesday that it believes former President Trump and some of his allies might have committed crimes by seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
In a legal filing previewing some of its findings, the committee—made up largely of Democrats as well as two Republicans who have been critical of Mr. Trump—said it has evidence to show Mr. Trump violated several laws in an attempt to keep Congress from certifying President Biden’s victory.
A spokesman for Mr. Trump didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
The panel suggested it had evidence that Mr. Trump potentially engaged in conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstructed an official proceeding and committed fraud—serious federal charges that could eventually be referred to the Justice Department for consideration. Such a move would immediately thrust the Justice Department into a political firestorm.
The committee says that evidence provides “a good-faith basis” for concluding that Mr. Trump has violated federal law banning obstruction of an official proceeding. “The Select Committee also has a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States,” lawyers for the congressional panel wrote in a filing in the U.S. federal district court in Orange County, Calif.
The filing came as part of legal proceedings over the testimony of John Eastman, a lawyer and professor at Chapman University, who advanced a fringe legal theory in the wake of Mr. Trump’s loss that Vice President Mike Pence could stop certification of the election on Jan. 6, 2021, as part of his ceremonial role as vice president. The panel’s immediate aim was to force Mr. Eastman to hand over thousands of pages of emails that he is suing to withhold.
The panel said Mr. Trump and his allies entered into an agreement “to defraud the United States by interfering with the election certification process, disseminating false information about election fraud, and pressuring state officials to alter state election results and federal officials to assist in that effort,’’ according to the filing.
