"It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax, Trump wrote without citing a credible source. He continued: This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That's right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as Law Enforcement Officials."
"A 2024 watchdog report from the Justice Department inspector general's office debunked the theory that the FBI played a role in instigating the rioting at the U.S. Capitol. This week, the FBI fired more than a dozen agents who were photographed kneeling at a protest in Washington, D.C., following the death of George Floyd in 2020. Floyd's death at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin sparked nationwide protests, which some officers were photographed taking part in."
President Donald Trump repeated a debunked theory on Truth Social claiming the FBI secretly placed 274 agents in the January 6, 2021 crowd and accusing them of acting as agitators rather than law enforcement. Trump demanded the identities of those alleged agents and blamed then-FBI Director Christopher Wray, linking the attack to the recent indictment of former Director James Comey. A 2024 Justice Department inspector general watchdog report concluded the FBI did not instigate the U.S. Capitol rioting. Separately, the FBI dismissed more than a dozen agents who were photographed kneeling during 2020 George Floyd protests, which followed Derek Chauvin’s killing.
