It turns out that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was indeed warned about potential violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. 

Not only that, but, according to a new report from Just the News, the FBI was also warned that Antifa would likely be present.

The outlet obtained the information from U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), the chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee investigating the events of Jan. 6, 201.

The latest revelation:

Accordingly to Just the News, the FBI was forewarned about potential violence and Antifa presence by "numerous confidential informants."

Per the outlet:

Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., the chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee investigating Jan. 6 law enforcement failures, said he was floored to see the specificity of threats and the consistency in warnings that multiple confidential human sources provided the FBI and that the intelligence was serious enough that it should have prompted more security and possibly even a cancellation of President Donald Trump’s speech that day on the Ellipse.

The question remains as to why further security measures were not taken on that day. President Donald Trump has insisted that he requested such additional measures.

According to Just the News, the FBI knew well in advance of Jan. 6 about the threats.

The outlet reports:

Loudermilk said the intelligence reports came weeks and days in advance of the Capitol riot from about two dozen informants embedded in radical groups around the country and that many of those informants came to the Capitol to keep assisting the FBI.

The truth is trickling out

This is one of several revelations that we have learned recently about the events of Jan. 6, 2021.

Another revelation from Loudermillk is that the FBI had "paid informants" in the crowd on that day.

He said:

One thing that we have learned, and this came on the tail end of the Biden administration, when their Department of Justice admitted that they had many, I mean, more than two dozen, paid informants embedded in the crowd.

What all of this shows is that the government still has yet to reveal to the American people the complete truth about the events of Jan. 6, 2021. As we learn more and more, it is becoming apparent that the Democrats, mainstream media, and never-Trumpers, among others, peddled a false narrative about that day.

Trump responded to the revelations, writing, "Big News. A Rigged Election!"
