Since when do FBI agents do crowd control?

FBI Jan. 6 report sets off a firestorm: Why did it take 56 months to disclose 274 agents at Capitol?


President Donald J. Trump wants the names and roles of each agent, while FBI Director Kash Patel says the agents only did ‘crowd control.’

The disclosure of 274 FBI special agents at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has set off a firestorm of controversy, with FBI Director Kash Patel insisting that the agents only did “crowd control” and President Donald J. Trump saying he wants to identify all of the agents, who he said were “probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists.”

After 56 months of not disclosing the scope of the FBI’s presence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, a Sept. 25 leaked report from the House Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding January 6 has turned into an online free-for-all — trying to assign blame and determine what the disclosure really means.
