Who will face criminal charges over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot?

Published

on

The chairman of the January 6 House Committee expects the panel to make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.

Bennie Thompson says the panel is yet to formalise its decision, as well as which individuals will be subjected to the referrals.

Committee members previously signaled the possibility of sending multiple criminal referrals to the Justice Department involving former President Donald Trump, and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

It’s all based on evidence uncovered while investigating the events surrounding the attack on the Capitol.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says the attack on the Capitol must never happen again.

Former White House strategist Steve Bannon was sentenced to four months in prison for contempt in October.

Another former West Wing aide, Peter Navarro didn’t testify to the panel, citing executive privilege, and is awaiting trial.

It’s unclear what charges the committee is entertaining.

It’s illegal to lie to Congress, for example, but such charges are rarely brought.

The Justice Department has brought charges against at least 955 people who allegedly participated in the riot.

A big surprise for music fans when they heard a new song featuring Drake and The Weeknd. But there’s a catch!

The viral song was created by artificial intelligence.

 
A new song that sounds like Drake and The Weeknd has gone viral, but it was created by artificial intelligence.

Now, there’s a crusade against AI music.

The song,“Heart on My Sleeve”was created by artificial intelligence and quickly racked up millions of views on TikTok, Spotify, and YouTube.

Record label, Universal Music Group (UMG) is not happy about the song that used AI-generated vocals to simulate pop music artists Drake Graham and The Weeknd.

UMG flexed their muscle and forced the song featuring some of its biggest artists to be removed from Spotify and TikTok.

According to reports, UMG is taking it a step further and sent letters to Spotify, Apple Music, and other music streamers requesting they block AI tools from training their models on the melodies and lyrics of UMG artists.
