Senate Republicans are pressing for more clarity regarding the involvement of confidential human sources from Justice Department agencies beyond the FBI during the events of January 6, 2021. Inspector General Michael Horowitz recently released a report indicating that there were over two dozen FBI confidential human sources present outside the Capitol on that day, with only three of them being officially assigned by the bureau.
The report stated that none of the sources were authorized to engage in illegal activities or encourage others to do so. However, Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson are now questioning whether Horowitz thoroughly reviewed communications between handlers and sources, expressing concerns about potential gaps in the findings.
