Trump Ramps Up Calls for DOJ Action on Jan. 6 'Fedsurrection' Revelations, Demands Probe into Wray's Testimony

Washington, D.C. — October 13, 2025

In a fiery pre-departure post on Truth Social, President Donald J. Trump unleashed a blistering rebuke of former FBI Director Christopher Wray, accusing him of perjury and urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to launch immediate investigations into what the president dubbed the "January 6th Hoax." The message, timestamped Sunday afternoon just hours before Trump's Air Force One lifted off for a high-stakes Middle East tour, amplifies a growing conservative uproar over newly disclosed details about the FBI's presence at the 2021 Capitol events.

"DO SOMETHING!" Trump wrote in all caps, tagging Bondi and the Department of Justice directly. "We now know Chris Wray LIED under oath to Congress—said he had NO idea about FBI agents in the crowd. Turns out there were 274 of them! Planted there like agitators in the Fedsurrection. Pam, DOJ—get to work NOW before more deep state crooks walk free!"

The post, which has garnered over 2 million views and thousands of reposts within hours, comes amid fresh scrutiny of Wray's 2021 congressional testimony. During a House Oversight Committee hearing that March, Wray repeatedly assured lawmakers that the FBI had no undercover personnel embedded in the protest crowds or inside the Capitol building on January 6. "The violence at the Capitol on January 6th was not orchestrated by FBI sources or agents," Wray stated unequivocally, emphasizing that the bureau's role was limited to post-breach response and intelligence gathering.

But explosive reports surfacing last week, citing internal FBI after-action documents obtained by congressional investigators, paint a starkly different picture. According to a 50-page memo shared with the House Oversight Committee, the FBI deployed a total of 274 plainclothes agents to the Capitol vicinity on that fateful day. While the bureau insists these personnel arrived after the initial breach to assist in crowd control and perimeter security—coordinating with Capitol Police and Secret Service—their presence in unmarked attire has fueled conspiracy theories long circulated in MAGA circles.

"It's not undercover if they're responding to a riot in progress," clarified current FBI Director Kash Patel in a Fox News interview Saturday, defending the deployment as standard protocol for major unrest. Patel, a Trump loyalist and author of the bestselling exposé Government Gangsters, accused Wray of "glossing over the truth" in his testimony, adding, "He should've been upfront—transparency isn't optional when America's future is on the line." Patel stopped short of calling it outright perjury but noted the discrepancy "raises serious questions" about Wray's candor.

The figure—274 agents—has ignited a firestorm on the right, with outlets like The Blaze and Gateway Pundit hailing it as proof of a "Fedsurrection." They argue the agents' plainclothes status blurred lines between law enforcement and potential instigators, especially given Wray's earlier denials. "This was a setup from the start," blared a Gateway Pundit headline, echoing Trump's narrative that the events were a "hoax" engineered to smear his supporters. The site cited the documents as evidence that Wray "set up good American patriots" who attended the rally, only to see their lives upended by subsequent DOJ prosecutions.

Critics, however, decry the claims as recycled misinformation. A December 2024 Justice Department Inspector General report—released under the prior administration—explicitly found "no evidence" of undercover FBI employees in the crowds or Capitol, debunking theories of bureau-orchestrated violence. It did acknowledge 26 confidential human sources (informants, not agents) in the D.C. area that day, but stressed none were authorized to incite or participate in illegal acts. Democrats, led by Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dick Durbin, dismissed Trump's post as "dangerous electioneering," warning it erodes trust in federal institutions.

This isn't Trump's first public prod at Bondi, his Florida ally and staunch defender turned AG. Just weeks ago, in a September 20 Truth Social tirade—later revealed to have been an accidental public post meant as a private DM—Trump lambasted her for "all talk, no action" on prosecuting perceived enemies like ex-FBI Director James Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and New York AG Letitia James. That outburst spurred swift DOJ movement: Comey was indicted last Friday on charges of making false statements to Congress, with sources saying the probe targeted his 2020 testimony on Russia-related leaks. James faces a separate racketeering inquiry, though no charges have been filed.

Bondi's office declined comment Monday, but during last week's Senate Judiciary confirmation hearing—where she defended her tenure amid Democratic accusations of "weaponizing" the DOJ—she praised Trump's "transparent leadership." "The president demands accountability, and that's exactly what we're delivering," Bondi told reporters post-hearing, sidestepping specifics on Wray.

As Trump jets toward summits in Riyadh and Jerusalem—aimed at brokering energy deals and countering Iranian influence—the Jan. 6 shadow looms large. House Republicans, via Chairman Barry Loudermilk's Jan. 6 Select Subcommittee, have vowed deeper probes into the FBI's role, demanding unredacted field office logs. "Were these agents observers or operators? The American people deserve answers," Loudermilk said in a statement.

For the hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants still entangled in legal battles—many pardoned by Trump upon his January inauguration—the revelations offer a glimmer of vindication. "If 274 feds were in the mix, why railroading us?" tweeted one supporter, amplifying Trump's call. Yet legal experts caution that perjury charges against Wray hinge on proving intent to deceive, a high bar given the semantic dance between "undercover" and "plainclothes."

In the overheated arena of American politics, Trump's Sunday salvo underscores a second-term playbook: unfiltered demands for retribution, channeled through social media megaphones. Whether it yields indictments or investigations remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: the ghosts of January 6 aren't fading quietly.
