Capitol riot hearing: FBI Director Wray says no evidence Antifa, 'fake Trump supporters' involvedFox News, Mar 2, 2021
FBI Director Chris Wray testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday that the bureau, to date, has not found any evidence showing Antifa members or "fake Trump supporters" participated in the Capitol riot.
Clarifying that the FBI does not evaluate perpetrators based on a left or right political spectrum, Wray testified that it’s clear a large and growing number of those arrested so far in connection to Jan. 6 could be categorized as militia violent extremists or racially motivated extremists, naming both the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys groups.
In response to a question from Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Wray clarified that FBI's ongoing investigations have not found Antifa involvement.
"We have not to date seen any evidence of anarchist violent extremists or people subscribing to Antifa," Wray said. "That doesn’t mean we’re not looking and we will continue to look."
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., asked Wray to clarify rumors circulating online that "fake Trump supporters" might have infiltrated crowds that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 in an effort to disparage the former president.
"Do you have any evidence that the Capitol attack was organized by ‘fake Trump protesters?'" Durbin asked. To that, Wray responded, "We have not seen evidence of that at this stage."
Wray also declined to disclose or confirm the cause of death for Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick.
