FBI Officials Clarify Role in Jan. 6, Deny Incitement Claims

Sen. Amy Klobuchar criticized President Trump for claiming the FBI planted agents in the crowd during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, calling it 'appalling' and emphasizing that agents were brought in to help, not to incite. She noted that investigations found no evidence of FBI agents acting as agitators, and clarified that agents were called in after delays in military assistance, with some acknowledging that the move went against FBI standards. The controversy continues as different narratives about the FBI's role emerge.

"Democrats Urge Biden to Release Leonard Peltier, Activist Convicted of Killing FBI Agents"

A group of mostly House and Senate Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, have written a letter to President Biden urging him to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist convicted in the 1970s of fatally shooting two FBI agents. The Democrats cast doubt on the circumstances of Peltier's conviction and highlighted his age, health issues, and nearly five decades of imprisonment. Peltier's conviction has been upheld on appeal multiple times, and the FBI Agents Association strongly opposes his release. The White House has not responded to the letter.
