In response to a Truth Social post by Donald Trump, California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Trump for seemingly forgetting he was president on January 6, 2021, and repeating debunked claims about the Capitol Riots being a Democratic hoax. Newsom’s remarks highlighted Trump’s post where he demanded action while incorrectly stating the “Biden FBI” placed agents at the scene. This marks the second time in recent weeks Trump has made this false claim, prompting concerns regarding his mental state and recent gaffes. Trump, who has been scrutinized since assuming the presidency for the second time, has been seen attacking his opponent for cognitive decline on the campaign trail.

In a recent Truth Social post, Donald Trump falsely accused President Biden of planting FBI agents at the January 6th Capitol riot and demanded action. This statement is part of a broader pattern of social media posts reflecting a personal revenge campaign. Previously, Trump publicly criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi for not prosecuting his perceived enemies, urging swift legal action. These actions suggest an attempt to pressure law enforcement and seek retribution against political rivals.

In a recent social media post, Donald Trump falsely claimed that the “Biden FBI” placed agents within the crowd during the January 6th attack on the Capitol. This statement echoes long-standing conspiracy theories, despite investigations and reports, including one released in December 2024 by the Justice Department inspector general, which found no evidence of FBI undercover employees in the protest crowds. The inspector general’s report did identify 26 confidential sources, with some tasked to report on potential domestic terrorists. The former president’s claims appear to confuse the number of agents sent to respond to the developing crisis, and are contrary to facts.

In a recent Truth Social post, former President Donald Trump falsely claimed the “Biden FBI” placed agents in the crowd on January 6, 2021, echoing previously debunked conspiracy theories. This claim, which has no basis in reality as Joe Biden did not take office until January 20, contradicts the fact that Trump himself was president at the time. The FBI has consistently denied involvement in instigating the riots, and a Justice Department report found no evidence of agents participating in the attack. Despite these facts, Trump has continued to promote such claims, and the events of January 6 and the role of law enforcement agencies remain a subject of debate.

In a recent CNN interview, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller claimed the U.S. has never tolerated “unlawful riotous assemblies” at federal buildings, drawing immediate criticism. Critics pointed out that the Trump administration had pardoned over 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. This contradiction emerged amidst debates over the deployment of federal agents in Portland, Oregon, where local officials dispute the extent of violence compared to the administration’s claims. A federal judge, in a ruling against the Trump administration’s actions in Portland, agreed that the president had overstepped his authority.

YouTube, owned by Google, has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump after his account was suspended following the January 6, 2021 attacks. The settlement allocates $22 million to the Trust for the National Mall and a White House ballroom construction, with the remainder going to other parties. This settlement follows similar agreements with Meta and X, making Google the third major tech company to settle lawsuits related to Trump’s post-presidency actions. Legal experts previously predicted these cases would be difficult to win. The settlement, which does not admit liability, came before a scheduled court hearing and barely impacts Alphabet’s significant market value.

Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb criticized the indictment of James Comey, stating that re-electing Trump would be a significant mistake. Cobb believes the indictment is retribution for Comey investigating Trump’s alleged ties to Russia and an attempt to rewrite history, particularly concerning the events surrounding the 2016 election and the January 6th insurrection. Cobb noted that the indictment, which stems from Comey’s alleged perjury in a 2020 Senate hearing, is likely dead in the water due to Trump’s public interference and meddling. Cobb, who served in the White House during the Russiagate investigation, has become an outspoken critic of the former president.

FBI Director Kash Patel has contradicted former President Donald Trump’s claims that the FBI instigated the January 6 attack. Patel stated that FBI agents were deployed for crowd control after the riot was declared, a breach of protocol, but not an instigation of violence. This stance reopens scrutiny of the FBI’s role during the attack, with Patel accusing his predecessor, Christopher Wray, of misleading Congress. Despite independent reviews dismissing claims of orchestration, Patel’s comments and the ongoing investigations highlight the continued political battles over the January 6 events.

Trump falsely suggests FBI agents to blame for igniting Jan. 6 violence, a claim that, when examined, unravels under the weight of his own actions and the facts of the day. It seems that the former president is employing a tactic that is both familiar and deeply troubling: attempting to shift responsibility for his own role in the events of January 6th.
The very notion that FBI agents were somehow orchestrating the violence at the Capitol is not only unsupported by evidence but also directly contradicts the narrative that Trump himself, through his rhetoric and actions, helped fuel the insurrection. Consider the context: Trump refused to authorize the National Guard to intervene and defend the Capitol.… Continue reading
