WASHINGTON – The Justice Department on Wednesday announced a special task force to go after the assets of billionaire Russian oligarchs who support Russian President Vladimir Putin and benefit from his regime.

The announcement comes after President Joe Biden singled out Russian financial and political elites in his State of the Union speech Tuesday night, saying, "Tonight I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime: 'No more.'"

"We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts, your luxury apartments, your private jets,” Biden said. “We are coming for your ill-begotten gains."

Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said the new unit, Task Force KleptoCapture, will surge federal law enforcement resources from various agencies, including the FBI, Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service.

You know, these words are the humble pinnacle of great leaders, of human minds & souls, of all walks of life.

"This is the way he lived. My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it."
