“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 budget request for 2023 will fund 130 employees, including 80 federal prosecutors, to aid in the ‘extraordinary,’ ‘unprecedented’ and ‘complex’ investigation.
‘We don’t have the manpower,’ said one official told the outlet, noting that many J6 participants who will eventually be charged haven’t been arrested yet.
Another official said that the cash crunch was a ‘culmination’ of various factors – including the need to provide support for cases moving to trial.
A third official called it a ‘work-in-progress’ as prosecutors from US attorney’s offices around the country are recalled to their offices.
The request comes after federal officials have made around 850 arrests in the nearly 19 months since the incident.”
