Citing the DOJ report, The Blaze's story included one sentence that appeared to seed doubt. "Depending how one reads 'undercover' agents versus 'plainclothes agents,' both statements could be true," it read.
It is important to note that most FBI agents do not wear uniforms in the field, unlike local law enforcement. Instead, most wear civilian clothes, except for tactical teams, who instead may wear tactical gear. As a rule, the dress code is business casual. The Blaze's and Just the News' reports did not cite "undercover" agents, but plainclothes agents, which is consistent with FBI standards for dress.
In sum, despite suggestions by these two news outlets and the now-deleted post by Trump, there was no evidence that the FBI agents deployed on Jan. 6 were undercover. We could not independently confirm the number, though it is in line with the DOJ report published in December 2024.
