President Donald Trump is going after former FBI Director Christopher Wray with a Jan. 6 conspiracy theory following former FBI Director Jim Comey being indicted for allegedly lying to Congress. Trump appointed Wray in 2017 to replace Comey as the head of the FBI.
On Truth Social, Trump rehashed a debunked MAGA theory that FBI agents stirred the crowd during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
“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,” Trump wrote without citing a credible source.
He continued:
This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as “Law Enforcement Officials.”
I want to know who each and every one of these so-called “Agents” are, and what they were up to on that now “Historic” Day. Many Great American Patriots were made to pay a very big price only for the love of their Country. I owe this investigation of “Dirty Cops and Crooked Politicians” to them!
Christopher Wray, the then Director of the FBI, has some major explaining to do. That’s two in a row, Comey and Wray, who got caught LYING, with our Great Country at stake. WE CAN NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN TO AMERICA AGAIN!
A 2024 watchdog report from the Justice Department inspector general’s office debunked the theory that the FBI played a role in instigating the rioting at the U.S. Capitol.
This week, the FBI fired more than a dozen agents who were photographed kneeling at a protest in Washington, D.C., following the death of George Floyd in 2020. Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin sparked nationwide protests, which some officers were photographed taking part in.
