FBI Director Christopher Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee today that there is no evidence of infiltration by nonTrump supporters in the capitol seize of January 6.

When asked to comment on allegations the January 6 incident was organized by Trump’s opponents to frame the former president and his supporter, Wray replied, "We have not seen evidence of that at this stage, certainly."

Wray said the FBI has arrested more than 270 individuals, "over 300 when you include the ones of our partners" most of which are far-right militias and white supremacists.

As we build out the individuals, whom we arrested for the violence, we are getting a richer and richer understanding of different people’s motivations, but, certainly, as I said, militia violent extremism, some instances of racially motivated violent extremism specifically advocating for the superiority of the white race.

A group of the pro-Trump mob in thousands of numbers had stormed the US capitol on January 6 demanding to overturn the elections. Some of the pro-Trump allies describe the incident to be infiltration by left-wingers, which so far doesn't seem to be a case.
