Jan. 6 Video Evidence Vanishes: Media Coalition Sounds Alarm
Nine video exhibits from the Justice Department’s case against January 6th rioter Glen Simon have vanished from a government online platform, prompting a media coalition to file a legal challenge. The missing evidence, used in Simon’s guilty plea for disorderly conduct, includes footage of him participating in the Capitol attack. The disappearance raises concerns about potential efforts to suppress evidence of the event, especially given recent pardons and personnel changes within the Department of Justice. The media coalition seeks the immediate restoration of the videos and a full explanation for their removal.
