NPR looks into former President Donald Trump's two impeachment defense lawyers who are heading his upcoming Senate trial: David Schoen and Bruce Castor Jr.

The former FBI attorney, Kevin Clinesmith, had pleaded guilty to altering an email used to get surveillance on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

The Department of Justice said it would spare no resource to bring to justice those responsible for the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Nearly three weeks after the insurrection at the Capitol, prosecutors have charged more than 120 people. NPR offers an update on the investigation and looks at the role played by extremist groups.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced a series of steps the Biden administration is taking to try to tackle the threat of domestic extremism.

FBI Director Christopher Wray is less than four years into his 10-year term. He was confirmed to lead the FBI in August 2017 after former President Donald Trump fired James Comey.

Bannon and Lil Wayne were two of dozens of people granted clemency by Trump just hours before his terms comes to a close.

The Justice Department has opened more than 170 cases into the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, said the acting U.S. attorney on Tuesday — adding that it expects to investigate hundreds more.

As the probe into the breach of the Capitol building by pro-Trump extremists continues, a big question remains unanswered: What role, if any, did organized groups have in spearheading the violence?

Authorities have brought federal charges against more than a dozen individuals for their alleged role in storming the Capitol.

On Thursday, President-elect Joe Biden announced the team he wants to lead the Justice Department. It has its work cut out, including with the aftermath of Wednesday's violence on Capitol Hill.

FBI, ATF, regional law enforcement and National Guard personnel responded to the Capitol on Wednesday after it was breached by pro-Trump extremists.

John Demers looks back on his latest stretch in the Justice Department in an exclusive interview with NPR. Cyber threats from Russia and China will remain a big problem, he warns.

President Trump issued another round of pardons Wednesday. The biggest names in the slate of 26 people include allies, such as former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former adviser Roger Stone.

The announcement comes as part of a wave of pardons and commutations in the final weeks of Trump's presidency.

In all, President Trump granted full pardons to 15 individuals and commuted part or all of the sentences of an additional five.

William Barr put a damper on two ideas President Trump has reportedly raised in recent days during what was likely his last press conference as attorney general.

Federal authorities warn that a major cyberattack poses a risk to U.S. national security. Russia is believed to be behind the hacks, but the Trump administration remains silent on the matter.

Trump said he and Barr had a "very nice meeting" Monday and that their "relationship has been a very good one." Barr started out as a loyalist, but his relationship with the president frayed.

The president could shield his allies from some prosecution. Critics say Trump is trying to help cronies — and maybe himself — escape accountability.
