While Dodging a Shutdown, Congress May Have Just Given Some Jan. 6 Rioters a Break
Congress avoided a government shutdown by extending federal spending at current levels for a few more weeks, but the Justice Department may be scaling back its efforts to hold hundreds of Jan. 6 insurrectionists accountable for their conduct.

The House Republicans were able to reduce the funding to $2.3 billion over the next year, which will likely result in hundreds fewer lawyers and other workers available to handle the department's docket.
