Trump Falsely Claims FBI Agents Among Jan. 6 Protestors

President Donald Trump has falsely alleged that FBI agents acted as instigators during the January 6th Capitol protests. This claim contradicts a previous Justice Department probe that found no evidence of undercover federal agents within the protest crowds. Trump made the assertion on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating FBI agents were likely agitators and insurrectionists, not law enforcement. The investigation had previously confirmed the deployment of hundreds of FBI agents to assist Capitol Police, but found no proof of their involvement as agitators.
