A coalition of media organizations has filed a motion in federal court after discovering that video exhibits from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, tied to defendant Glen Mitchell Simon, have disappeared from an online portal. The Press Coalition, demanding answers and restoration of the records, alleges that the Justice Department's lack of explanation raises concerns about transparency and potential violations of court orders.
Federal courts and judges have repeatedly ordered that any evidence or exhibits tied to Jan. 6 cases be placed in an online portal. But some of those records have “disappeared” over the last week, according to a motion filed Tuesday in federal court.
But this week, the Press Coalition said video exhibits entered for at least one Capitol riot defendant, Glen Mitchell Simon, are missing. When the group asked the Justice Department about it, the department “offered no explanation for why these judicial records are no longer publicly accessible or whether any other Capitol riot records that were previously available on USAfx have disappeared as well,” according to the lawsuit.
