Trump Suggests DOJ May Investigate Former FBI Director Wray Over Jan. 6 Allegations

President Donald Trump has renewed accusations against former FBI Director Christopher Wray, suggesting that the Justice Department may be investigating Wray following revelations about FBI involvement during the January 6 Capitol riot. Trump claimed hundreds of FBI agents, specifically 274, were embedded in the crowd during the attack, alleging they acted as agitators rather than law enforcement, a claim that lacks concrete evidence and has been disputed by FBI officials and a Justice Department inspector general report. Trump criticized Wray's tenure as "terrible" and "inappropriate," calling for accountability, while FBI Director Kash Patel acknowledged that agents were involved in crowd control after the riot began, contrary to usual protocols. These accusations come shortly after the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey and are part of Trump's broader criticism of the FBI and justice system leadership. Despite Trump's assertions, no verified evidence supports the conspiracy theory that the FBI instigated the January 6 attack, and the claims have been widely debunked by multiple investigations and officials. Nonetheless, Trump and some allies continue to promote these narratives, fueling ongoing controversy around the FBI's role in the Capitol events.
