Musk and Vance Amplify Debunked Jan. 6 FBI Conspiracy Claims

Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Vivek Ramaswamy have seized on a new Justice Department report to falsely claim it supports a conspiracy theory that the FBI instigated the January 6 Capitol riot. The report, which states that FBI informants were present but not involved in inciting the riot, has been misrepresented by these figures to suggest FBI complicity. Despite the report's clear findings, the narrative persists among some right-wing circles, highlighting ongoing tensions and conspiracy beliefs within Trump's incoming administration.
