The Justice Department “remains committed to holding all Jan. 6 perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law,” Attorney General Merrick Garland pledged in a speech just shy of the one-year anniversary of the breach of the U.S. Capitol building.
“Those who assaulted officers or damaged the Capitol face greater charges. Those who conspired with others to obstruct the vote count also face greater charges,” Garland told Justice Department employees on Wednesday, calling the Capitol breach an “unprecedented attack on our democracy.”
