Trump Blames ‘THE BIDEN FBI’ for Capitol Riot in Late-Night Truth Social Post
Trump Blames Biden for Capitol Riot in Late-Night Social Media Post
In a surprising twist, former President Donald Trump has shifted blame for the January 6 Capitol riot onto President Joe Biden, alleging that “THE BIDEN FBI” infiltrated the crowd with agents. Trump made this claim in a post on Truth Social at 12:38 a.m. on Sunday, stating, “THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM – DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT.”
This assertion comes nearly three years after the riot, during which Trump was still in office and had control over federal agencies, including the FBI. On that fateful day, he addressed a large crowd of supporters in Washington, D.C., reiterating his unfounded claims of a rigged 2020 election and urging his followers to march to the Capitol. “We fight like hell,” he declared, warning that failure to do so would jeopardize the nation.
The aftermath of his speech saw a violent mob storm the Capitol, leading to chaos and loss of life. In the weeks leading up to the riot, Trump had been pressuring Republican officials to overturn election results, most notably urging Georgia’s Secretary of State to “find” the votes he needed to win.
Just two weeks prior to his latest post, Trump had claimed that the FBI had secretly placed agents in the crowd but did not mention Biden at that time. His recent comments have reignited discussions about accountability for the events of January 6, especially as the Department of Justice had indicted him in 2023 for his attempts to overturn the election—charges that were later dropped after he won the 2024 election.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Trump’s late-night post raises questions about the narrative surrounding the Capitol riot and the ongoing discourse about accountability and truth in American politics.
