Trump’s Justice Department Scrubs News Releases about Jan. 6 Defendants



The Department of Justice (DOJ) is Acknowledging it has Removed from its Website News Releases about Criminal Cases related to the 1/6/2021 Riot, calling the Information about the Prosecutions “Partisan Propaganda.”

The Purge of News Releases Documenting Criminal Charges, Convictions, and Sentencings, is the latest Step by the Trump (R) Administration to Dramatically Rewrite the History of the Assault on the Capitol, when Hundreds of Supporters of Trump, Stormed the Building in an Effort to Halt the Congressional Certification of His 2020 Election Loss to Joe Biden (D).

Trump, on His First Day back in Office in 1/2025, Pardoned, Commuted the Prison Sentences, or Vowed to Dismiss the Cases of All the 1,500-plus People Charged with Crimes during the Capitol Assault, including those Convicted of Attacking Officers with Makeshift Weapons such as Flagpoles, a Hockey Stick, and a Crutch.

On 5/18/2026, the DOJ announced the Creation of a $1,776 Billion Fund meant to Compensate Trump Allies who Feel they were Unjustly Investigated and Prosecuted. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche (R) has Not Ruled Out that Rioters Convicted of Violence will be Eligible for Payouts, Prompting Bipartisan Anger in Congress.

After a Journalist on 5/22/2026 Observed on the Social Media Platform X, that the DOJ nt was “quietly” Removing News Releases on its Website that were Related to the 1/6/2021 Attack, including about a Texas Man who Pleaded Guilty to Assault and also Faced Separate State Charges of Soliciting a Minor, the Department responded through its “Rapid Response” Account that there was “nothing ‘quiet’ about it”.

Among the Releases Removed from the Site, were those concerning Seditious Conspiracy Cases against Members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, Far-Right Extremist Groups. The DOJ, in an Unopposed Motion 4/2026, Asked a Federal Appeals Court to Vacate those Seditious Conspiracy Convictions, a Request that was Granted 5/21/2026. The DOC on 5/22/2026 moved to Dismiss the Cases against the Group Members.

The Origenal Parks Department License for the Rally, says the March to Congress could Start after the Vote. The current License has that Line removed.
