From Fox News: Various conspiracy theories continue to swirl around January 6 Capitol Hill riots more than four years later, but FBI director Kash Patel promised a “definitive answer” to one of the most pressing questions about the nation-shattering event is “coming.”

“People have had questions about January 6th and whether or not there were FBI sources – not agents, sources – on the ground during January 6. And I told you I would get you the definitive answer to that. And we have, and we are in the process again of working with our partners to divulge that information, and it is coming,” Patel said during a “Special Report” exclusive interview Wednesday.

Patel added the answer may “surprise and shock people because of what past FBI leaders have said about it.”

According to a report released last year by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, there were a total of 26 confidential human sources in the crowd outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but only three of them were assigned by the FBI to be there.

The report by Horowitz claimed that none of the sources were authorized or directed by the FBI to “break the law” or “encourage others to commit illegal acts.”

Patel promised he’s about to release some stunning information. Watch below:

In a separate interview on Fox & Friends Thursday morning, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino said, “We had two pipe bombs planted on January 6. We were told by partisan actors out there, this was the insurrection, the world was gonna fall apart and no one seemed to show any interest in this case.”

“The second we got in, I put a team on it and I said, I want answers on this, and I’m pretty confident that we’re closing in on some suspects,” he added.
