The Justice Department confirmed that it had deleted the press releases as part of stripping DOJs website of partisan propaganda.
The Justice Department has removed press releases detailing the charges against hundreds of individuals who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot from its website, the department confirmed Friday.
Nothing quiet about it, the DOJ Rapid Response X account said in a post replying to allegations that the Justice Department had deleted press releases related to Jan. 6.
We are proud to reverse the DOJs weaponization under the Biden administration, the post continued. We will do everything in our power to make whole those who were persecuted for political purposes. This includes stripping DOJs website of partisan propaganda.
A review by NBC News found that the vast majority of press releases pertaining to Jan. 6 defendants have been removed from the DOJ website as of Friday evening.
The move to wipe hundreds of press releases from the official government site is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to reframe the Jan. 6 siege and to paint the rioters who participated in it as victims.
