FBI Director Chris Wray told lawmakers the FBI hasn't seen any evidence indicating that the rioters who took part in the January 6 US Capitol attack were 'fake Trump protesters,' knocking down a baseless claim pushed by GOP Sen. Ron Johnson in recent weeks

Washington FBI Director Chris Wray told lawmakers Tuesday that the FBI has not seen any evidence indicating that the rioters who took part in the January 6 US Capitol attack were"fake Trump protesters," knocking down a baseless claim that has been pushed by Republican Sen. Ron Johnson in recent weeks as he has sought to downplay the violence committed by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

Testifying publicly for the first time since pro-Trump rioters breached the Capitol nearly two months ago, Wray was pressed by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Dick Durbin on whether the FBI has seen any evidence that individuals involved in the January 6 attack were posing as Trump supporters -- a claim the Illinois Democrat called"the next big lie.

Outright lied to the American people under oath. WOW. I don’t understand why we can’t trust the government

How can you tell

Funny CNN acts like 'We the PEOPLE' Trust or have any Faith in the Failed FBI! But then again 'WE the People' laugh

He’s NOT being truthful.

I guess Mr Wray has not seen the same videos we saw.

JeannieG40 This guy didn’t have shit to say. Complete waste of time.

Uhhh the guy was on cnn, there’s literally documented evidence of the guy pretending to love Trump and participating. Even if it’s one person, it happened. This is the FBI? Is this for real?

Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.

Wray is another Comey. You can’t believe him. He never gives a straight answer. He was told there was a big crowd and National Guard would be sent just in case and they were waved off. He said he knew nothing. He never knows anything. Makes you feel great.

They were sent their by dump

💖 PLEASE READ💖👀 WE'RE OUT OF TIME to secure His 'Aftercare fund' for years of proper follow up & meds, a new 💙 w/out it means He'll reject it & die. PLEASE, if U can't donate, just retweet so others can see, for a Child, Thank You! AboysHeart

Johnson, what is wrong with you? Antifa, really omg if you want to spread conspiracy theories, learn from the best!!!

All of America watched & we saw no painted white faces either but that doesn't stop Republicans' lies & cover ups! Their lies are an insult to Americans including lying about the election & now working hard to suppress our votes! We all know they never win the popular vote!

CoverUp

Wait- you had one interviewed on AC360 that day!!!

It's boring to sit at home alone, looking for someone to spend time with

So when is the FBI going to investigate Governor Cuomo?
