The Justice Department has scrubbed hundreds of press releases about 6 January defendants from its official website, including one man facing an active child solicitation charge who stormed the Capitol armed with bear spray.
The department confirmed the deletions on Friday, with its official Rapid Response account on X declaring the move a proud reversal of what it called Biden-era 'weaponisation.' The sweeping purge coincides with the Trump administration's announcement of a £1.42 billion ($1.776 billion) 'Anti-Weaponisation Fund' that could deliver taxpayer-funded payouts to pardoned rioters.
