Tucker Carlson claims FBI agents 'almost certainly' helped plot the Jan. 6 Capitol siege

In an explosive segment on Fox News Tuesday night, Tucker Carlson alleged that federal law enforcement agents may have been responsible, at least in part, for organizing the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, a fact which, if true, raises serious questions about the federal government's response to the events that day.

What happened?

At the outset of his monologue, Carlson bluntly asked, "Speaking of January 6th, why are there still so many things, basic factual matters, we don't know about that day?"

"Why is the Biden administration preventing us from knowing? Why is the administration hiding more than 10,000 hours of surveillance tape from the U.S. Capitol? What could possibly be the reason for that?" he continued. "We need to get to the bottom of it. They could release those tapes today, but they're not. Why?"
