Stunned Individuals Discover Removal of Alleged Information from Department of Justice's Site
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is facing criticism after a study on domestic terrorism, which was available to the public on the official DOJ website on Sept. 12, reportedly vanished by Sept. 13. The study, which found that white supremacist and far-right violence is currently outpacing all other types of domestic terrorism in the United States, has sparked controversy and allegations of report removal.
The report's findings, as stated in a passage from the archived report, indicate that militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. Since 1990, far-right extremists have reportedly committed more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.
The disappearance of the report from the official DOJ website coincides with a rise in far-right violence, leading some to suspect that the administration is letting the country self-destruct before admitting errors. Others have accused the current administration of editing history, rewriting it to align with the narrative presented by President Donald Trump.
Trump's recent comments about violence coming mainly from the left contradict the report's findings. The report's disappearance has also sparked accusations of the DOJ deleting a study on domestic terrorism, with some people expressing suspicion about who benefits from hiding the data on the rise in far-right violence.
A spokesperson from the DOJ did not comment on the allegation of report removal when asked by BuzzFeed. The search results do not contain information about the current publisher or location of the U.S. Department of Justice study report, making it difficult for the public to verify its authenticity.
Despite the controversy, the public can read the full archived report. The Politics Discussions section is available for readers to share their thoughts on the matter, with some expressing concern about the implications of the report's disappearance and others questioning the motivations behind it.
As the investigation into the disappearance of the report continues, the DOJ faces scrutiny over its handling of the study and the potential implications for the fight against domestic terrorism in the United States.
