The Department has conducted a comprehensive search for email communications since January 20, 2021, through the date of the verdict, between any officials in Department leadership, including all political appointees in those offices, and the District Attorney's office regarding any investigation or prosecution of the former President.² We found none. This is unsurprising. The District Attorney's office is a separate entity from the Department.
