Watchdog: FBI Informants Present, No Agents at Capitol Riot

A Justice Department report reveals that over two dozen FBI informants were present in Washington, D.C., during the January 6 Capitol riot, but no full-time undercover agents participated. The report criticizes the FBI for not adequately using its field offices to gather intelligence that might have predicted the riot. Despite conspiracy theories suggesting FBI involvement, the report clarifies that informants were not authorized to enter the Capitol, though four did. The FBI's handling of intelligence and informants has been scrutinized, while President-elect Donald Trump has promised to pardon many convicted rioters.
