Overview

• An FBI after-action document located by Director Kash Patel’s team was delivered to the House Judiciary Committee and its Jan. 6 subcommittee for review.
• It catalogs roughly 274 Washington Field Office personnel who responded on Jan. 6 across the Capitol grounds and inside the building, as well as to pipe bombs at party headquarters and a suspicious vehicle.
• Agent feedback in the report describes confusion over command, lack of protective gear or clear identification, and claims that leadership showed political bias and double standards.
• Republican investigators, including Rep. Barry Loudermilk and Chairman Jim Jordan’s office, plan inquiries into what the agents did, what courts and Congress were told, and whether any later worked on prosecutions.
• Independent fact-checks and the DOJ inspector general’s December 2024 review indicate the document does not show undercover operatives embedded in protest crowds, a distinction from some partisan claims.
