We already know that 274 FBI agents, not counting cut-outs, were in the crowd outside the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
There is no evidence that we have seen that ANY FBI agent was attempting to calm the crowd.
FBI Chief Chris Wray lied about this under oath during his time leading the department.
When this news broke in 2025 President Trump wrote this on TRUTH Social.
Trump wrote, “BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6.”
” If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies,” he continued, calling for something to be done about the scandal.
This comes after the FBI admitted that 274 plainclothes agents were embedded in the crowds during the events of January 6, 2021, hundreds more than previously disclosed.
