FBI and DOJ Delayed Investigating Trump's Role in Jan. 6 Insurrection.
TL;DR Summary
Some legal analysts and former federal prosecutors have criticized the slow pace of the Justice Department's investigation into whether former President Donald Trump illegally conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election and stay in office after he lost to Democratic rival Joe Biden. The Washington Post reported that the FBI resisted opening a probe into Trump's role in Jan. 6 for more than a year, in part due to an interest in appearing apolitical. The Justice Department has been criticized for moving too slowly, including a failure to interview White House aides and other key witnesses.
