DOJ Suspends Prosecutors Involved in Capitol Riot Cases: Latest Updates
The Department of Justice has taken action against two federal prosecutors who admitted that rioters were involved in the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. According to ABC correspondents Katherine Faulders and Alex Mallin, the prosecutors were suspended after a legal brief described the Capitol attack as involving "thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters." This move follows the firing of three prosecutors by Attorney General Pam Bondi in June for their involvement in Capitol riot cases, with additional terminations occurring shortly after President Donald Trump assumed office.
