DOJ Erases Jan. 6 Prosecutions From Website, Prompting Claims of Record Revision

The Justice Department acknowledged scrubbing its site of news releases related to Jan. 6 prosecutions, calling the material partisan propaganda and prompting accusations of rewriting the Capitol attack’s history. The move follows broader Trump-era efforts, including his 2025 return to office actions pardoning or commuting sentences for more than 1,500 defendants and a new $1.776 billion fund to compensate allies who felt unfairly investigated. The removals included seditious-conspiracy cases against Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, whose convictions were vacated and dismissed, drawing bipartisan criticism in Congress.
