LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON – Donald Trump is lying about his Jan. 6, 2021, coup attempt. “That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as ‘Law Enforcement Officials.’”AdvertisementTrump’s claim is false. The agents were dispatched after Trump’s mob grew violent, attacking police officers and storming the building. “274 FBI agents were thrown into crowd control on Jan 6 against FBI standards,” he wrote. Trump’s new lie about the 274 FBI agents is essentially an updated version of that Carlson conspiracy theory.
