Jan. 6 Defendant Allegedly Blabbed To Undercover Fed About Riot, Jailbreak Scheme

A new defendant in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack case needs better friends.

According to court records filed over last week and recently unsealed, Fi Duong spilled some incriminating evidence to an undercover FBI employee — a source he was introduced to by an undercover Metropolitan Police Department employee he’d met at the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

In addition to the Capitol attack itself, Duong allegedly spoke at length to the undercover FBI employee about making Molotov cocktails, and even mused about breaking Jan. 6 defendants out of custody.

“I was right in front when they smashed the doors,” he allegedly bragged to the FBI employee in a late-March conversation, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit. “I also got footage of the Capital Police [sic] shooting the rubber bullets at us.”

*snippy*
