“在像1月6日这样的情况下，全面的会计核算不会突然出现。为了确保所有负有刑事责任的人都被追究责任，我们必须收集证据，”司法部长梅里克·加兰在国会大厦袭击一年后的1月5日的一次讲话中说。
“我们遵循物证。我们遵循数字证据。我们跟着钱走。但最重要的是，我们遵循事实，而不是议程或假设。事实告诉我们下一步该何去何从，”加兰说。
DOJ expands Jan. 6 probe to include planning of 'Save America' rally
The Department of Justice is expanding its criminal probe into the events of Jan. 6 to include preparations for the rally that preceded thestorming of the U.S. Capitol, as well as the financing for the event, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
Over the past two months, grand jury subpoenas have been sent to those who assisted in the organizing and planning of former PresidentDonald Trump's"Save America" rally on the Ellipse near the White House, the sources said.
The news of the expanding probe was first reported by the Washington Post.
The subpoenas to individuals with knowledge of the event are expansive, the sources said. Prosecutors are seeking multiple records and documents related to the rally, including text messages and emails, as well as potential communications with other individuals regarding thelogistics of the event.
Officials with the Department of Justice declined to comment to ABC News.
The subpoenas are not indicative of wrongdoing, and one source said some subpoenas were sent with the clear indication that the request was for witness testimony and cooperation.
"In circumstances like those of Jan. 6, a full accounting does not suddenly materialize. To ensure that all those criminally responsible are held accountable, we must collect the evidence," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a speech on Jan. 5, one year after the Capitol attack.
"We follow the physical evidence. We follow the digital evidence. We follow the money. But most important, we follow the facts -- not an agenda or an assumption. The facts tell us where to go next," Garland said.
