Synthesized from 7 sources

The Department of Justice has acknowledged removing news releases about criminal cases related to the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack from its website, describing the prosecutorial information as "partisan propaganda."

The removal includes documentation of criminal charges, convictions, and sentencings connected to the events of January 6, 2021, when hundreds of supporters of then-President Donald Trump entered the Capitol building during the congressional certification of the 2020 presidential election results.

The action represents one of several steps taken by the current Trump administration regarding materials related to the Capitol attack. The Justice Department has not provided additional details about the scope of the removals or what criteria were used to determine which releases to remove.

Separately, the Democratic National Committee released its post-election analysis on Thursday examining the party's 2024 presidential campaign performance. The report's release has generated internal criticism within the party, with some members questioning both the timing and content of the analysis.

DNC Chair Ken Martin is facing calls to resign over his handling of the report's release, which critics say was delayed for months and lacks comprehensive coverage of key campaign issues. The analysis has been criticized for omitting discussion of President Biden's decision to seek reelection and for not addressing foreign policy issues related to Gaza and Israel.
