Trump regime removes hundreds of Jan. 6 stories

Time-  The Justice Department has removed hundreds of news releases related to criminal prosecutions connected to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol from its website, it confirmed, characterizing the records as “partisan propaganda.”  The deletions include press releases documenting criminal charges, guilty pleas, convictions, and sentencing tied to the Jan. 6 attack, which saw supporters of President Donald Trump storm the Capitol in an effort to block the certification of his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. 

After a journalist noted on X last week that the Justice Department appeared to be “quietly” deleting the releases, the department’s rapid response account publicly confirmed over the weekend that they had been scrubbed from its website—but stated that there was “nothing ‘quiet’ about it.” 

“We are proud to reverse the DOJ’s weaponization under the Biden administration,” the department wrote. “We will do everything in our power to make whole those who were persecuted for political purposes. This includes stripping DOJ’s website of partisan propaganda.”

The post comes days after the Justice Department announced the creation of a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund to compensate people who allege they have been unjustly investigated and prosecuted by the government, as President Donald Trump and his Administration had repeatedly claimed Trump and his allies were during Biden’s presidency, as part of a deal to settle the President’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS.
