Biden DOJ Wants $34 Million To Keep Targeting J6 Defendants


The Biden administration's weaponized Department of Justice (DOJ) has asked Congress for more than $34 million in new funding to continue its January 6th investigation, NBC News reports.

The requested funding comes after it was slashed from the omnibus spending bill passed in March.

In an interview earlier this week, Attorney General Merrick Garland told NBC News that he was "confident" the DOJ would be able to handle the workload regardless of what Congress does.

"Of course, we’d like more resources, and if Congress wants to give that to us, that would be very nice," Garland said on Tuesday. "But we have people — prosecutors and agents — from all over the country working on this matter, and I have every confidence in their ability, their professionalism, their dedication to...
