Patel Says Reported 274 FBI Personnel Entered After Riot Began, Disputing Trump's Claim
FBI Director Kash Patel says 274 agents were deployed after the Capitol riot began to assist overwhelmed police, contradicting former Director Christopher Wray's testimony to Congress.
- FBI Director Kash Patel clarified that 274 plainclothes FBI agents were deployed in crowd-control roles at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and accused former FBI Director Christopher Wray of lying to Congress.
- At the time, Metropolitan Police had declared a riot, prompting the deployment of more than 200 plainclothes FBI agents to help manage crowds, reports obtained by Just the News show.
- Agency personnel later reported lacking protective gear and clear identification, and dozens of FBI personnel filed complaints to the after-action team about poor coordination and safety.
- President Donald Trump seized on reports, demanded answers and said the findings contradict former FBI Director Christopher Wray's testimony while urging Justice Department investigations.
- The reports deepen questions about FBI leadership and may prompt more congressional scrutiny as more than 1,500 were charged and nearly 500 imprisoned over January 6.
