Justice Department Creates Domestic Terrorism Unit
The Department of Justice announced the creation of the Domestic Terrorism Counsel, an office designed to coordinate investigations into homegrown attacks.
During a speech at George Washington University, Assistant Attorney General John P. Carlin said: "The new DT Counsel will not only help ensure that DT cases are properly coordinated, but will also play a key role in our headquarters-level efforts to identify trends to help shape our strategy, and to analyze legal gaps or enhancements required to ensure we can combat these threats," Carlin said in the speech, according to prepared remarks.
