In an interview with Newsmax, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) reported that he suspects over 200 federal agents were in the crowd on January 6 dressed as supporters of President Trump. Higgins alleges the federal agents were outside directing protesters, and had federal agents inside the Capitol before protesters entered. Additionally, he claims the FBI embedded themselves in online chat groups and suggested acts of violence and occupation of the Capitol.
The announcement from Higgins comes after Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) released over 40,000 hours of video footage recorded on January 6. Higgins said on X, “J6 was an FBI op.…”
On November 15, Higgins had questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray during a congressional hearing about “ghost buses,” and asked if the FBI had undercover agents posing as Trump supporters at the Capitol on January 6.
