If you’re wondering what former President Donald Trump’s press conference will be like on January 6, marking one year since his attempted coup, we just had a glimpse of that as he joined Candace Owens on her podcast. As the House Select Committee investigates what took place the day of the deadly insurrection, including how involved the former President was on that fateful day, Trump suggested that it was a false flag operation orchestrated by the FBI.
Trump and Owens also raised questions about the individual that placed pipe bombs outside of the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee on January 5, just before the Capitol riot.
“I’ve been watching it very closely,” Trump said. “And a lot of people are being treated very unfairly. This should never happen in our country or any country; what happened to them.”
“But this pipe bomber or bombers, who knows if it was a pipe or what it was,” he continued. “They never found him? I’ve seen pictures of him and very clear pictures, and you know that they do have cameras on every corner.”

Trump then claimed that he could “guarantee” that the individual who planted the bomb wasn’t at the Capitol for the “right reasons.”
“It was a protest,” he said of the riots. “You know, the insurrection was November 3, the election day. This was a protest about a rigged election and the people that were there; there was great love in the air. I’m not talking about the Capitol. I’m talking about the speech.”
“But why aren’t they finding this pipe bomber, and how come other people haven’t been revealed because I think there were more than just — let’s call them MAGA people?” he asked.
“There were FBI informants,” Owens alleged without offering proof to back up her claim. “And they say, go to the Capitol, go to the Capitol. And those individuals were not arrested.”
“Right, it seems like that,” Trump insisted. “And you have BLM, and you had Antifa people. I have very little doubt about that and they were antagonizing, and they were agitating. And you don’t see any of that.”

There is zero proof that Black Lives Matter or Antifa supporters were at the Capitol on January 6. Seven hundred twenty-seven people have been charged with crimes after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol at the former President’s direction.
