Recently, the Department of Justice made the decision to remove a database that detailed the extensive criminal charges and successful convictions of individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot. This searchable database was a valuable resource that provided information on all cases related to the events of January 6, 2021, prosecuted by the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
While the US Attorney’s Office declined to comment on the removal of the database, this action has raised concerns and questions about transparency and accountability in the handling of the cases stemming from the Capitol riot.
