I'm sure someone on here knows the answer.

I thought the Attorney General was supposed to give a briefing TODAY of the on going investigation into the insurrection at Congress. Did I get the day wrong? I haven't seen anything about it on the news. Thanks.

Don't expect him to name names, though; he's not likely to disclose details at this point - nor should he.

on DOJ's efforts to "hold accountable those responsible for the unprecedented attack on the U.S. Capitol one year ago."

There is a link on the DOJ home page that gives the public access to his remarks.

Do you have a link indicating that it only will be made to DOJ employees and not to the American people?
