New News into CNN. A new DOJ watchdog report has just been released on the January 6th riot at the Capitol,

and this finds that there were no undercover FBI employees at the Capitol during the riot.

This finding runs directly counter to speculation from allies of President-elect Donald Trump,

who for years have suggested the violence that day was provoked

by federal agents.

I find regarding any FBI involvement here.

Yeah, well, they found no FBI undercover agents at all or no evidence of them participating

the attack or being on the Capitol grounds, but what they did find was some confidential

human sources.

And I think already that's what we've seen some

people on the right latching onto. There were, you know, somewhere in the 20s, I think 26,

confidential human sources who are somewhere in D.C. But the important thing to note there is that

the vast majority of them were not specifically assigned to come to D.C. for this. There are only

three or so who are actually tracking individuals and were assigned

specifically by the FBI. And, you know, people, this is sort of a side gig for a lot of few folks,

right? So this is something that they might just be living their normal life. And because they

support Donald Trump and because, you know, they thought the election was stolen or what have you,

might have traveled to D.C.,

but weren't doing it on behalf of the FBI or for any purpose like that.

So I think that we're going to see a lot of that because we've already seen, you know,

members of Congress really hone in on this idea that there are confidential human sources in the crowd,

as well as January 6th defendants themselves.
