What The FBI Got Wrong About January 6

In this segment from Press Club, Ryan Reilly breaks down how the Justice Department misjudged the scale of the January 6th Capitol riot investigation. Initially, the FBI and DOJ believed only a small number of rioters had entered the Capitol, which led to a limited approach. As the investigation unfolded, it became clear that the true scope was far greater, with over 3,500 individuals involved. Ryan dives into how this oversight impacted the prosecution strategy and the massive adjustments the DOJ had to make to keep up with the mounting evidence. He also highlights key moments in the case and how the investigation evolved into the largest federal probe in U.S. history.
