#DOJ news releases that detailed #guilty pleas, #jury #verdicts & #prison #sentences abruptly disappeared from “government” websites last week.

The “Justice” Dept defended the move, saying, "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."
