Donald Trump's Department of Justice has erased hundreds of press releases from its website that detailed the charges against January 6 Capitol rioters " information the DOJ deemed "partisan propaganda."
"We are proud to reverse the DOJ's weaponization under the Biden administration. We will do everything in our power to make whole those who were persecuted for political purposes. This includes stripping DOJ's website of partisan propaganda," the DOJ Rapid Response X account declared Friday.
The move came just days after the DOJ announced it was creating a $1.8 billion taxpayer-backed "Anti-Weaponization Fund" to pay restitution to anyone who felt they were wronged by the federal government. Critics, including congressional Republicans, have called it a "slush fund" for Trump allies, including the rioters that he pardoned.
Rioter Brandon Fellows told CNN this week that he was requesting $30 million from the fund for "wrongful imprisonment."
