Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund revealed in a recent interview that he was never informed by the FBI about its deployment of hundreds of plainclothes agents on January 6, 2021.
Speaking on The Great America Show, Sund responded to new disclosures that 274 FBI agents were embedded in the crowds — far higher than earlier estimates. The revelation intensifies debate over federal involvement and prior knowledge of the Capitol breach. A congressional source said FBI deployments at public events are common for countersurveillance but admitted the bureau’s refusal to detail its January 6 presence could fuel skepticism and scrutiny.
