Trump Pushes New Rewrite of Riot History as DOJ Deletes Jan. 6 Assault Records 5/27/26

A new NPR report reveals the Department of Justice, under the Trump administration, systematically removed news releases and public records connected to prosecutions from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. That includes records documenting violent assaults on police. Some records have been preserved by independent trackers and NPR’s Jan. 6 archive. Even so, the effort to wipe away criminal records fits into broader actions by the Trump administration, like mass pardons, personnel changes at DOJ, and public messaging that attempts to reframe the riot. We welcome presidential historian John Rothmann, host of the podcast ‘Around the Political World with John Rothmann,’to examine where we’ve seen this type of dry cleaning of facts before. We continue the conversation with journalist Isaac Saul, from Tangle. https://www.readtangle.com The Mark Thompson Show 5/27/28 Today's Guests Links Isaac Saul from Tangle https://www.readtangle.com/ John Rothmann https://www.spreaker.com/show/around-the-political-world https://www.youtube.com/@aroundthepoliticalworld_ The Rundown- 0:00 Welcome 4:02 RFK Snakes 5:55 Iran and Gas Prices 25:22 J6 30:11 John Rothmann -Trump Corruption -Paxton and Texas -Abraham Accords -Cuba -ICE 1:00:10 Isaac Saul from Tangle -J6 Slush Fund -Elections 1:18:51 Comments 1:26:00 Chunk of Trump Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!
