The Biden administration's Department of Justice has asked Congress for more than $34 million in additional funding to finance its investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion, according to NBC News. The DOJ pleaded for that funding in its 2023 budget request, saying U.S. attorneys' offices would have to cut budgets to pay for the investigation.
In July, an official told NBC News the DOJ lacked the manpower to keep the investigation going as quickly as possible.
- Democratic House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro did not say whether the DOJ's request for more money would be part of planned government funding legislation with a Dec. 16 effective deadline.
