The Department of Justice has committed to paying more than $6 million to a multinational firm to create a database to host the reams of data that prosecutors are gathering in cases against accused participants of the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.

Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP was contracted in late May to help develop the database and the government has started transferring a large volume of materials, including tens of thousands of records from the U.S. Capitol Police, prosecutors said in a court filing last week.
