As President Donald Trump this week sought to rewrite the history of his supporters attack on the US Capitol, a database detailing the vast array of criminal charges and successful convictions of January 6 rioters was removed from the Department of Justices website.
The searchable database served as an easily accessible repository of all January 6, 2021, cases prosecuted by the US Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia.
The US attorneys office declined to comment.
--------------
The removal of the comprehensive website cataloguing the largest criminal investigation in modern department history coincides with Trumps decision to pardon all convicted January 6 defendants. The president also released early from prison 14 members of far-right extremist groups, including 10 convicted of seditious conspiracy. He also asked the federal courts in Washington to dismiss the more than 300 cases that hadnt yet been resolved.
