DOJ Removes Jan 6th Database - But Too Bad, It’s Archived Here!
In a quiet yet significant move, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has taken down its comprehensive database documenting the prosecutions and convictions stemming from the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. This deletion comes at a time when former President Donald Trump has been actively downplaying the insurrection, even providing clemency to those involved.
The sudden removal of the database has sparked concern among legal experts and historians, who emphasize the importance of preserving records of such a historic and unprecedented event. With no clear explanation from the DOJ, questions about transparency and accountability loom large.
