Justice Dept Closes Door on Jan 6 Claims | Sacramento News
Description
The Justice Department is shutting down a lawsuit from January 6 defendants, arguing they missed the deadline to file claims about police injuries—officials say the window closed in January 2023, but the earliest claim arrived in July 2025. The government insists these plaintiffs knew who harmed them and waited too long, calling all claims “forever barred” under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Some forms were also incomplete or unsigned, adding legal hurdles. Meanwhile, an anti-weaponization fund for Trump allies was rescinded—but that doesn’t stop potential restitution for January 6 convicts. This case underscores how strict federal deadlines can close doors on lawsuits—even when victims believe they’re right.
