Capitol Riot

Ed Martin, who backed Trump's 2020 election conspiracy theories, moved several supervisors in the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office to deal with low-level cases.

Tarrio was released from prison last month after President Donald Trump cut short his 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

The acting DOJ official behind a potential witch hunt against prosecutors and FBI agents who investigated the Capitol riot worked on Jan. 6 cases himself.

Earlier Friday, FBI agents and the Justice Department reached an agreement to avoid publication of a list of agents who had worked on Capitol riot investigations.

Darren Beattie, who's claimed the FBI was responsible for the 2021 attack on the Capitol, has been named acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy.

Patel also downplayed his involvement with the "J6 Choir" as senators questioned him about past statements.

Andrew Taake was accused of attacking police officers with bear spray and a metal whip during the Capitol assault.

Acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin said he wants to "get to the bottom" of why an obstruction charge was brought against some of the more than 1,500 pardoned Capitol riot defendants.

The Justice Department employees had been involved in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation that led to Trump's classified documents and Jan. 6 cases.

In an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham expressed disagreement with the president’s decision to pardon those convicted of violent crimes.

Three federal prosecutors described the final days of one of the biggest investigations in U.S. history, as attorneys had to work to dismiss Jan. 6 cases they had brought.
