Participant Details
Original Note:
The agents were not undercover nor were they embedded in the crowd. The number was cited in a report about FBI agents responding to a riot and doing crowd control. Also, Trump was still president at the time so it was his FBI, not Biden's. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2025/09/fact-check-many-of-274-fbi-agents-in-report-were-part-of-the-response-to-january-6-events-no-undercover-or-embedded-in-crowd.html
