Ex-FBI Agent Faces Charges for Involvement in Jan. 6 Riot.

Former FBI agent Jared L. Wise has been charged with illegally entering the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot and encouraging a mob of Trump loyalists to kill police officers. He faces four misdemeanor counts, including disrupting the orderly conduct of government and trespassing. Wise worked on counterterrorism matters at the FBI in the New York field office from 2004 to 2017 before leaving the bureau. He later joined the conservative group Project Veritas. The Justice Department’s investigation of the Capitol attack has resulted in more than 1,000 arrests, with the possibility of many more to come.
