Rioters clash with police as they push barricades to storm the US Capitol in Washington on January 6, 2021. "I can't wait to ask FBI Director Christopher Wray about this at our next oversight hearing," Lee, who represents Utah, said on X, formerly Twitter. One of more than 1,200 people arrested in connection to the riot, he was found guilty of six charges. Asked about the allegations, the FBI pointed AFP to recent testimony in which Wray said the agency had "emphatically not" orchestrated the violence. A law enforcement source on Capitol Hill also told AFP it is "false" that federal personnel instigated the attack.
