Donald Trump tried to cast fresh doubt on the January 6 investigation by posting a link to an article from right wing outlet Just the News and calling the riot a “Radical Left Democrat Scam.” His framing suggests the FBI planted agents in the crowd to entrap his supporters, a claim that fits neatly into MAGA conspiracy theories about the Capitol riot.

But the article itself tells a different story: the FBI deployed the agents after the breach began, in plainclothes and without proper safety gear, leaving many feeling unprepared and unsafe. Their complaints were about poor planning and political bias inside the bureau, not about orchestrating the riot.
