The inspector general's report concluded that while F.B.I. informants were present during the Capitol attack, they did not encourage illegal behavior and acted under proper guidance.
The investigation revealed that more than two dozen F.B.I. informants were in Washington on January 6, but none were directed by the bureau to incite lawbreaking.
Criticism was aimed at F.B.I. leadership for failing to adequately assess the threats posed by rioters, despite having informants evaluating related cases.
Despite having more than twenty informants present, many were there on their own accord, with no evidence of any undercover agents attempting to disrupt the event.
