Trump Repeats False Claim of FBI Involvement in January 6 Capitol Attack
Former President Donald TRUMP has again propagated misinformation about the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. In a recent Truth Social post, he alleged that 274 FBI agents were embedded in the crowd—a claim thoroughly debunked by Department of Justice investigations. Over 1,400 arrests and 1,000 convictions have been tied to the event, with no evidence of federal orchestration.
The narrative of FBI infiltration, repeatedly dismissed by official reports, continues to fuel political divisions. Trump's latest remarks coincide with his controversial pardons of more than 1,200 individuals convicted for crimes related to the riot. Market observers note such volatility in political discourse often correlates with short-term uncertainty in risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
