DOJ Report Refutes FBI Conspiracy Claims About January 6 Riot

The report confirms 26 FBI informants were present in Washington, with no evidence of undercover agents or bureau involvement in inciting violence.

The DOJ Inspector General's report found 26 FBI informants were in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021, with four entering the Capitol and 13 entering restricted areas.
The report states that none of the informants were authorized by the FBI to enter restricted zones, break laws, or encourage criminal activity.
Critics argue the report lacks transparency on the specific actions of informants, particularly those who entered the Capitol or restricted areas.
The FBI clarified that most informants were not directed to attend the events, while three were tasked with reporting on potential domestic terrorism suspects.
The findings have reignited debates over the FBI's role and transparency, with some calling for further investigations into January 6-related activities.
