IG Report: 26 FBI Informants at Jan. 6 Riot; Four Entered Capitol
Dec 12, 2024, 06:26 PM
The U.S. Department of Justice's Inspector General released a report stating that the FBI had 26 confidential human sources in Washington, D.C., during the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. The report reveals that four of these sources entered the Capitol building, and an additional 13 entered restricted areas around the Capitol, but none have been prosecuted to date. The Inspector General found no evidence that FBI undercover agents were present at the Capitol or nearby protests on that day, countering conspiracy theories suggesting that federal agents incited the violence. The report also criticizes the FBI for failing to take basic steps to collect and share intelligence prior to the riot, such as canvassing its field offices for information.
