1:04Now PlayingThe Department of Justice has been purging government websites of information about prosecutions related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, including information about violent assaults of police that day.
Late last week, the Justice Department said it was “proud” to purge its website of what it called “partisan propaganda,” including the deleting of news releases about Jan. 6 prosecutions — including cases where rioters were convicted of carrying guns and assaulting police with pepper spray, tasers and stolen police batons.
The announcement and deletions come after the administration announced plans for a $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” Administration officials have not ruled out the possibility that even violent Jan. 6 defendants could receive a portion of those taxpayer funds.
