The FBI had an informant in the crowd during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, The New York Times reported Saturday, citing confidential records it obtained.
The informant's name was not revealed in the records, though he was affiliated with a Midwest chapter of the far-right group the Proud Boys, according to the newspaper.
Based on an account of the informant's activities detailed in the records, the informant described meeting up with men from other Proud Boys chapters at 10 a.m. at the Washington Monument and eventually entering the Capitol.
The informant entered after debating whether to do so, the Times reported. He left through a window after police told him that someone had been shot - likely Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, the newspaper noted.
The informant has since denied that the Proud Boys intended to use violence on Jan. 6 but rather were consumed by a herd mentality. He has also denied that the group planned to attack the Capitol in interviews, the Times reported.
In a statement to The Hill, an FBI spokesperson said the agency's "mission is to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States, and intelligence gathering is essential to those efforts."
"While the FBI's standard practice is not to discuss its sources and methods, it is important to understand that sources provide valuable information regarding criminal activity and national security matters," the statement said.
More than 600 people have been arrested in connection with the deadly attack, according to the Justice Department, and more than 50 have pleaded guilty.
The Times noted that 15 members of the Proud Boys have been charged with conspiracy in four separate cases.
Reuters reported in early August that the FBI has found little evidence to suggest that the attack was largely coordinated.
While groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers were intent on entering the Capitol, officials told Reuters that there appeared to be no coordinated plans regarding what they would do once they broke into the building.

Only one.
Kind of like a drunk driver saying I only had one beer.
they had more than 1
Wouldn’t surprise me if 10-percent of the Proud Boys group are connected to various federal/state authorities (not just the FBI).
I only had ONE!......................
Government Spies. Who would have thought it?
I wish there were informants in the fib!
Of course they did.
I would bet they had at least 50......................
Somewhere in Hell, Goebbels is laughing..................
There, fixed it.
I hope those informants rot in hell. I hope the informants brothers you betrayed roast them over an open flame. Politics is going to become a full contact kinetic sport.
They had many.
They were planning on provoking horrific bloodshed, but then Trump sent everyone home so the ones running the Jan 6 ‘operation’ (Pelosi, her militia and other corrupt agency people, Pence) panicked and had their operatives go out into the crowd and invite people up to the second floor (where ashly was shot). They couldn’t get anyone to go with them. Finally, Ashly was the only one to accept, and she had no idea what they had in mind. Everyone in the corridor with her was an operative - every member of the ‘crowd’.
An agent approached the door from the other side and confirmed ‘the kill’. It was murder. They meant for it to be so much more. That’s how the CIA and others helped overthrow the Ukraine. Infiltrate a protest, put sniper/operatives in buildings around the square. Kill some people, frame the protesters, jail everyone, lock down all patriot protest etc. and voila. The coup was complete.
I saw video footage that seemed to show the people who broke the glass doors into the Capitol were in all black fatigues and face coverings/helmets. Can take some educated guesses as to who they were. No idea if they have been apprehended.
They are spending billions on electronic spying and infiltration.
All large groups of more than a dozen people are likely to be infiltrated. Beware of agent-provocateurs.
Live your lives peacefully the best you can now because things are likely to get Soviet Union bad (or worse, the CCCP didn’t have invaders bringing in new virus variants).
Only the foreign exchange and mortgage markets can control the leftists.
The crowd was RIDDLED with provocateurs
Should be interesting when one of these cases a mutually comes to trail. The FIBs will have to provide discovery and if the right lawyers are involved, a lot will come out.
Oath breakers, 2%ers and Pride Boys are all fed infiltrated.
It had FOUR informants. And one was the guy who took the barriers down.
