Trump Accuses FBI of Misconduct During January 6 Capitol Riot
TL;DR Summary
President Trump falsely accused FBI agents of inciting the January 6 Capitol riot, despite a Justice Department inspector general report indicating that hundreds of FBI personnel responded to the scene without evidence of undercover agents or law-breaking, and recent reports suggesting the presence of plainclothes agents, which are not conclusively supported. Trump’s claims appear to be based on unverified reports and conspiracy theories, and he used these assertions to criticize FBI leadership.
