Overview
- Trump posted at 12:38 a.m. Sunday on Truth Social alleging the FBI placed 274 agents in the Jan. 6 crowd and urged supporters to “DO SOMETHING!!!”.
- He attributed the claim to the “Biden FBI” even though Biden took office two weeks after the Capitol riot and Trump was president at the time.
- The FBI has denied orchestrating or inciting the violence on Jan. 6, and no independent confirmation of a 274‑agent deployment has been presented publicly.
- Trump made a similar allegation last month, reviving a recurring narrative that casts the Capitol attack as a hoax.
- A disputed after‑action document alleging plainclothes FBI deployments has circulated to House committees, though it has not been publicly corroborated.
