FBI Embedded 275 Plainclothes Agents In Jan. 6 Crowds, Blaze Reports, As House Panel Probes Informants’ Roles

Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), chairman of the House Jan. 6 Select Subcommittee, said this week his panel is focused on the number and role of paid informants present during the Jan. 6, 2021, demonstrations and whether intelligence from those sources was properly shared with law enforcement.

“One thing that we have learned, and this came on the tail end of the Biden administration, when their Department of Justice admitted that they had many, I mean, more than two dozen, paid informants embedded in the crowd,” Loudermilk said on Just the News, No Noise on Sept. 23, 2025. He added:

“With that many paid informants being in the crowd, we want to know how many were in the crowd, how many were in the building, but I also want to know, were they paid to inform or instigate?”

Loudermilk further asked, “But of these informants, if they were paid to inform, what information did the FBI actually get from them? How did they not know that this was coming?” and asserted: “If they had that many paid informants, I believe they did know it was coming.”
