The FBI had 26 confidential human sources (CHS) in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021, with a majority of those individuals entering the restricted area on Capitol Hill during the disturbances of that day, a Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General report found.

 

"We determined that of the 26 CHSs who were in DC on January 6 in connection with the events of January 6, 4 entered the Capitol during the riot; an additional 13 entered the restricted area around the Capitol, which was a security perimeter established in preparation for the January 6 Electoral Certification; and 9 neither entered a restricted area nor entered the Capitol or otherwise engaged in illegal activity," the report read. "None of the CHSs who entered the Capitol or a restricted area has been prosecuted to date."

 

The report further found that several of those CHSs provided the bureau with information on the Jan. 6 electoral certification process ahead of time and that at least one had been in contact with members of the far-right Oath Keepers group.

Notably, the OIG found no evidence that the FBI had deployed undercover agents within the crowds.

"We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting
that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds, or at the Capitol, on January 6," it said.
