EXCLUSIVE: The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.
While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital. That is not the proper role of FBI agents, and Wray was not forthcoming about what happened when he testified numerous times on Capitol Hill, Director Kash Patel said.
"Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards," Patel told Fox News Digital. "This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened."
He added, "Thanks to agents coming forward, we are now uncovering the truth. We are fully committed to transparency, and justice and accountability continues with this FBI."
There’s no indication any FBI agents were involved in any events related to Trump’s speech on the morning of Jan. 6 at the Ellipse, an FBI official told Fox News Digital, adding that Wray should have disclosed that agents were there when he was asked by congressional leaders.

What happened to Ray Epps?
Nothing, that is what is going to happen.
I have been on the fence with Patel. Not anymore. I will not be insulted by him any longer. He is exonerating the thugs who perpetrated one of the biggest US government coups the country has ever seen.
I’ve always maintained the famous vid of the guy breaking the window, then backing off to let others climb in, was a Fed.
I’m more sure of it now.
the FBI studied at the “Ray Epps School of Crowd Control”.
There were multiple posters who posted that it was a trap to go to DC on 1/6 - that little good would come of it.
Precisely, and this could all be completed in one week.
No need for subpoenas, or hearings. Just instruct them all, it’s transparency, or prison.
Two things can be true. Agents acting as agitators can be in the crowd and hundreds can be sent in to quell the aftermath.
Which one was Epps? Is he the one with the bullhorn directing people into The Capitol? Or am I thinking of someone else? 🤔
But the explanation that undercover or plain clothes agents were sent for crowd control after rioting began is absurd.
100% absurd.
I have to wonder, is that what Patel believes or is that what he was told to say ?
Perhaps he doesn’t believe it and said it anyways ?
At any rate, it is still 100 % absurd that they were there for riot control. In plain clothes at that ! Hogwash.
Utter nonsense. How were FBI Agents in Plain Cloths Going To Control The Crowd? Did they show their badge to those they were trying to Control?
I doubt it. Likely, they were there to stir up the crown like Ray Epps.
When did Pelosi order the Capitol police to fire flash bangs into a peaceful crowd to start a riot?
“Agents were sent into a crowd control mission”
Agents provocateurs.
In my scattered contact with agents, my experience is that most of them try to follow the orders, the game plan, whether they agree with the game plan or not. By definition, that is part of being an agent.
