In a brief statement on X on January 16, Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President's Council of Advisors for Digital Assets and Deputy Director at the Department of War's Office of Strategic Capital, said the Department of Justice (DOJ) has confirmed that the forfeited digital assets "have not been liquidated and will not be liquidated" pursuant to Executive Order 14233. According to Witt, the bitcoin will remain on the U.S. government's balance sheet as part of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).

The congressional representatives have written a letter expressing their concerns to Attorney General Pam Bondi, and a coalition of activists has filed a federal lawsuit seeking the restoration of the Community Relations Service, an agency within the DOJ that has provided conflict resolution services around the nation since it was established by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Community Relations Service staff has been reduced to one.

Meta has removed a Facebook page dedicated to tracking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) action in Chicago after the Justice Department got involved. Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X Tuesday that Facebook had taken down an unnamed "large group page that was being used to dox and target" ICE agents after outreach from the DOJ. Meta spokesperson Andy Stone confirmed the group, which he did not identify, "was removed for violating our policies against coordinated harm." Its removal follows Apple and Google blocking ICE-tracking apps, also following government demands.

"For decades, the guiding tenet for those working at the department was to do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons. Many believe that's no longer possible," Stacey Young, executive director and founder of Justice Connection, which organized the letter, said in a news release on Monday. "They're being asked to put loyalty to the President over the Constitution, the rule of law, and their professional ethical obligations," she said. "We're seeing the erosion of the Justice Department's fabric and integrity at an alarming pace. Our democratic system cannot survive without the primary institution that enforces the law."

It's a long standing joke that the standard of proof for a grand jury (where only the government has an opportunity to present evidence) is so low that prosecutors could secure an indictment against a ham sandwich. It's not a particularly funny joke, mind you, but it is widely known in the legal profession. What *is* funny as hell is that the Department of Justice has failed to secure an indictment against a man accused of throwing a sandwich.

In releasing the declassified Durham annex - a document, like the Epstein files, in the custody of FBI and DOJ - Kash released not just information on several prominent uncharged third parties, but unsealed and disseminated "unfounded theories" about them.

In the past weeks, a MAGA civil war has erupted among Trump supporters over the Department of Justice's claim that no Jeffrey Epstein client list exists.

Bondi's Department of Justice concluded that there is no client list related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, leading to backlash from supporters of Trump's administration.

The DOJ stated the deal will further consolidate spectrum in the Big 3's oligopoly, controlling over 80% of mobile wireless spectrum in the U.S.

We've made it very clear: Only women in women's sports under Title IX, Bondi says in the video. An example in California? A boy who was in track and field. He would have lost every race, yet in women's sports, he won over three dozen medals. Those medals should be returned to the women.
