Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz revealed that 26 confidential human sources (CHSs) were in the crowd during the January 6 Capitol riot, but only three were assigned by the FBI to attend.

None were authorized to break the law or encourage illegal acts.

The FBI, which had a minor supporting role that day, took steps to prepare but lacked primary responsibility for intelligence or security, as the event was not designated high-risk by DHS.

Horowitz found no evidence of undercover FBI employees in the crowd, Fox News has reported.

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan criticized the FBI for using CHSs, highlighting concerns about government overreach.
