The cover-up just got exposed.
Former Chief of the U.S. Capitol Police, Steven Sund, revealed in an interview with John Fawcett on The Great America Show Friday night that he was never told by the FBI that hundreds of their agents were deployed inside the Jan. 6 crowds.
How is it possible that the top cop in charge of protecting the U.S. Capitol, the man responsible for securing Congress, was left in the dark about something this massive?
On Thursday night, the FBI finally admitted that it had 274 plainclothes agents inside the massive Trump crowds on January 6, 2021 — hundreds more than previously reported.
The Blaze reported that congressional sources claimed this was “not necessarily a surprise,” since the FBI often embeds counter-surveillance personnel at large events. But what is shocking is the FBI’s steadfast refusal for years to disclose their true level of presence at the Capitol.
Even worse, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Inspector General declared in an 88-page report released in December 2024 that the FBI had “no undercover employees” inside the Jan. 6 crowds. That claim now looks like another brazen lie.
Former FBI Director Chris Wray lied and lectured House Republicans for accusing the FBI of planting informants/operatives/agents inside the massive crowd of Trump supporters on January 6, 2021.
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress in July 2023 that he “does not believe” undercover FBI agents were present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Wray’s statement came during a tense exchange with Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who specifically asked about the number of undercover agents in the Capitol vicinity on the infamous day.
“I’m not sure there were undercover agents on scene,” Wray responded to Biggs. “As I sit here right now, I do not believe there were undercover agents on.”
Biggs wrote on Twitter that “Wray will be held accountable for this lie.”
Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund told John Fawcett on The Great America Show that he was never informed the FBI was sending agents into the crowds on Jan. 6.
It gets even worse. Fawcett told The Gateway Pundit that during the interview, Chief Sund revealed that on January 5th, just one day before the protests, he met with all the major federal agencies and specifically asked if any liaison would be put in place from agencies that planned to have people there. They didn’t say a word.
John Fawcett:
Let me ask you this, because to me, on January 6th, you are Chief Stevenson. You are head honcho. You are king of the Capitol. It’s your responsibility. It’s your role to make sure everything’s tied down. You obviously did your job by trying to do your diligence beforehand and were stifled at every single moment.To me, it seems now—I’m not a career law enforcement guy. I’ve never been in law enforcement. I’ll probably never be in law enforcement. But to me, as just a pedestrian, it seems like if I’m the FBI, if I’m the federal government, I’m going to pick up the phone and say:
“Hey, Chief, just want to let you know, we know January 6th is supposed to maybe get a little bit crazy. We’ll have 300 agents there for you. They’ll be plainclothes. There’ll be some guys not in plainclothes. Is that a rational thing for me to be thinking—that, hey, we’ll pick up the phone and say, ‘Hey, Chief, you’ll have 300 guys there if you need them. Here’s your point of contact for January 6th. Let us know if you need anything else.’”
Chief Sund:
Well, take it a step further. If they were saying that they were going to have that group in the crowd already, most likely what they’d do is they’d put a liaison up in my command center. I mean, if you’re going to have that type of assets and resources deployed onto someone’s jurisdiction, you’re going to put somebody in their command center. That’s key.You said something really interesting coming into that—that as the chief, you’re king of the castle. The only problem with the Capitol is the bureaucracy. Even though, as the Chief of Police, there was a chief law enforcement officer for the House and a chief law enforcement officer for the Senate that sat over top of me. That created the big bureaucracy that I ran into. You’d like to think the chief could call the shots, especially with my experience? Not the case on January 6th.
John Fawcett:
No, I wasn’t saying it—putting the blame on you in any way.Chief Sund
No, I was just—so your viewers get a picture. It’s like no other jurisdiction in the world. They really need to fix that.

It can be recalled that ex-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund told lawmakers in February 2021 during a hearing before the Senate Rules and Homeland Security committees that he did not get the FBI report warning of violence on January 6.
The FBI issued a report on January 5, one day before the riot at the Capitol dome building, that detailed calls for violence.
Mr. Sund said his department had received the FBI report, but it never reached his office.
Sund testified that an officer with the Joint Terrorism Task Force with the FBI received the report and then gave it to an official in the Intel Division at the US Capitol Police HQ.
“I actually just in the last 24 hours was informed by the department that we actually had received that report,” Sund said. “It did not go any further than that.”
Also, during the hearing, according to a former FBI agent on the ground at the US Capitol, at least one bus load of Antifa goons infiltrated the Trump rally as part of a false flag operation.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) entered into the record explosive testimony of eyewitness accounts from Michael Waller detailing how he saw “agents-provocateurs” at the Capitol.
Michael Waller, a senior analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy, specializing in propaganda, political warfare, psychological warfare, and subversion, said he was at the Capitol on January 6 and witnessed:
- Plainclothes militants. Militant, aggressive men in Donald Trump and MAGA gear at a front police line at the base of the temporary presidential inaugural platform;
- Agents-provocateurs. Scattered groups of men exhorting the marchers to gather closely and tightly toward the center of the outside of the Capitol building and prevent them from leaving;
- Fake Trump protesters. A few young men wearing Trump or MAGA hats backwards and who did not fit in with the rest of the crowd in terms of their actions and demeanor, whom I presumed to be Antifa or other leftist agitators; and
- Disciplined, uniformed column of attackers. A column of organized, disciplined men, wearing similar but not identical camouflage uniforms and black gear, some with helmets and GoPro cameras or wearing subdued Punisher skull patches.
Well known Antifa-Insurgence leader John Earl Sullivan was arrested in Utah after the US Capitol riots.
Also, Chief Steven Sund has been outspoken of Nancy Pelosi and her failures to secure the US Capitol that day.
It has been widely reported that President Trump asked for the National Guard three days in advance of January 6. But Pelosi turned him down. She refused to call in the National Guard despite numerous warnings of possible violence.
Pelosi then refused to turn over information about her culpability in the security breakdown during the Jan. 6 riot for over a year to congressional investigators.
Steven Sund not only confirms her culpability along with the rest of the Democratic leadership. Sund reported that Pelosi utilized him as a scapegoat and forced him to step down as Police Chief. We all know now she was just trying to obfuscate her own responsibility for the attack.
The day after January 6, Nancy Pelosi blamed Chief Sund for the security failures that day. Pelosi insisted she never spoke with Chief Sund the entire day.
Chief Steven Sund refuted Pelosi. Sund told the subcommittee he spoke with Pelosi three times on January 6 (while she was running the building with her film crew.)
