According to a new 50-page report delivered to the House Judiciary Committee by FBI Director Kash Patel last week, 274 plainclothes FBI agents were among the crowd that entered the U.S. Capitol building on January 6th, 2021. The shocking revelation confirms the years-long suspicions of online skeptics after former FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to tell Congress about the agency’s involvement in the riot.
During a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee in 2023, Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs asked Wray if he had “any assets that day in the crowd.” Wray refused to directly answer the question and stated, “that’s a place where, again, I want to be careful.” He even said that he did “not believe there were undercover agents on scene.”
In contrast to his predecessor’s leadership, Patel had promised earlier this year to release information on the FBI’s role in the January 6th incident at the Capitol.
President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Saturday that he wanted to know the identities of the agents who participated in this operation.
“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,’” he said. “I want to know who each and every one of these so-called ‘Agents’ are, and what they were up to on that now ‘Historic’ Day. Many Great American Patriots were made to pay a very big price only for the love of their Country.”
Fox News reported on Saturday that the FBI agents were sent into the crowd after people had entered the U.S. Capitol building. Patel explained that this was not the proper role of the FBI.
“Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards,” Patel said. “This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened.”
The FBI reportedly told Fox News that there were no indications that “agents were involved in any events related to Trump’s speech on the morning of Jan. 6 at the Ellipse.” However, an FBI official explained that “Wray should have disclosed that agents were there when he was asked by congressional leaders.”
Patel stated that the FBI is still in the process of uncovering more of the story due to agents coming forward with details about what occurred that day.
“274 FBI agents were thrown into crowd control on Jan 6 against FBI standards,” Patel posted on X. “That failure was on corrupt leadership. Thanks to agents stepping up, the truth is coming out. Transparency. Justice. Accountability.”
After the events of January 6th, Wray led the FBI in arresting more than 1,500 Americans for entering the Capitol. Many were denied bail and faced harsh pretrial detention policies that were glaringly out of line with the treatment faced by other individuals accused of similar crimes.
Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of an overwhelming majority of January 6th defendants on his first day back in office earlier this year, fulfilling a promise that he had made on the campaign trail.
