President Donald Trump blamed the Capitol riot on former President Joe Biden, claiming that “THE BIDEN FBI” had placed agents in the crowd that had assembled in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6. 2021.
Trump’s post came in the wee hours of Sunday, at 12:38 a.m.
“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6,” he wrote on Truth Social. “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”
Trump was president on that day and in control of the federal government, which includes the FBI.
Two weeks shy of leaving office on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump addressed a crowd of supporters in the nation’s capital, where he repeated his false claim that the 2020 election had been rigged against him. He urged his supporters to march to the Capitol, where lawmakers would certify the election results to recognize Biden as the winner.
“We fight like hell,” he told the crowd. “And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
Shortly afterward, a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol in what became a deadly riot.
Trump spent the preceding weeks pressuring Republican officials to try to overturn the results in states he lost. Most infamously, the president demanded that Georgia’s secretary of state “find” him 11,780 votes, one more than the margin by which he lost.
