An FBI whistleblower from the Boston FBI office testified to the United States Congress’ House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that the D.C. FBI office was withholding January 6th footage to protect the identity of undercover FBI agents who were at the Capitol on January 6th. FBI Director Wray has previously stated under oath that undercover agents were not at the Capitol on January 6th.
When speaking to Congressman Matt Gaetz about FBI agents in the crowd on January 6th, the FBI whistleblower recalled his conversation with the D.C. FBI Field office about obtaining J6 tape copies.
The whistleblower asked the D.C. field office, “Why can’t you show us – why can’t you just send us the – give us access to the 11,000 hours of video that’s available?'”
The FBI whistleblower said that the D.C. field office answered his J6 video request with “Because there may be’ – may be – ‘UCs,’ undercover officers, ‘or CHSes,’ confidential human sources, ‘on those videos whose identity we need to protect.”

Gaetz also tweeted a clip of himself at the hearing, calling for the defunding of the FBI, “The FBI has sown more evil than they have rooted out. They’re targeting everyone from President Trump to their own agents who have blown the whistle on the weaponization of the FBI. Congress must cut off their federal funding and make significant organizational changes,” Gaetz said.
