A new House panel will re-investigate the January 6th Capitol attack with a focus on the narrative about the events in Washington, D.C. in 2021.
House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., told CNN Sunday that the new panel is a “committee investigating the previous committee.”
That committee was rigged, I think, and I think, my theory is, I always believed that they got rid of evidence and they hid some of this,” Johnson said.
This past weekend, President Donald Trump also took to Truth Social, accusing former FBI Director Christopher Wray of lying about the presence of FBI agents during January 6th.
It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax. This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again!” Trump wrote in part.
Trump cited a report published last week in, ‘The Blaze,’ which claimed the FBI had 274 agents embedded in January 6th crowds. A report, FBI Director Kash Patel clarified, while also criticizing Wray.
Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police,” Patel told Fox News Digital. “This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people,” he added.
Wray has testified multiple times about the FBI’s role on January 6th. Including in 2024, when he was asked about having confidential human sources inside the Capitol.
If you are asking if the violence at the Capitol on January 6th was part of some operation orchestrated by FBI sources or agents, the answer is no,” Wray told House lawmakers.
A Justice Department Inspector General report released in December 2024, also disputes Trump’s claims. The report acknowledged 26 CHS were in D.C. on January 6th. Three were reporting on domestic terrorism subjects, and one entered the Capitol. The other 23 were in the city independently, with several also going into the Capitol.
