The Justice Department is asking Congress for a further $34 million in order to continue to investigate the January 6th Capitol siege with just weeks to go until November's Midterm elections.

The criminal investigation into those who participated in the riot has been sprawling and has looked into thousands of rioters who stormed the building in support of then-President Donald Trump. So far there have...
