Senators Grassley, Johnson and Senate Judiciary Demand DOJ IG Horowitz Disclose FBI Texts on Undercover Agents in January 6 Probe

Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have renewed their demand for the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz to provide detailed information regarding the presence and involvement of confidential human sources and undercover agents during the January 6 Capitol attack. The senators are pressing for the release of text messages exchanged between FBI handlers and their sources related to the event. This follows previous calls for clarity after Horowitz issued a report last year that was criticized as incomplete concerning FBI assets involved in January 6. The Senate Judiciary Committee has formally requested the DOJ to clarify whether untasked undercover agents were present during the incident. The inquiry highlights ongoing concerns about transparency and the extent of federal law enforcement's covert activities on that day.
