Ex-FBI Agent Charged in Capitol Riot Now Works on Justice Department's 'Weaponization' Task Force
A former FBI agent charged with joining a mob's attack on the US Capitol and cheering on rioters is now advising the Justice Department official overseeing its weaponization working group, which is examining President Donald Trump's claims of anti-conservative bias inside the department. The former FBI supervisory agent, Jared Lane Wise, is serving as a counselor to Justice Department pardon attorney Ed Martin Jr., who also directs the working group, according to a person familiar with the matter. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss a personnel matter and spoke on condition of anonymity. A department spokesperson declined to comment. The New York Times was first to report on Wise's appointment. When Trump returned to the White House in January, he picked Martin to serve as interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia. But the president pulled his nomination to keep the job on a more permanent basis two days after a key Republican senator said he could not support Martin for the job due to his defense of Capitol rioters. Martin was a leading figure in Trump's 'Stop the Steal' movement. He spoke at a rally in Washington on the eve of the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. He represented three January 6 defendants and served on the board of the nonprofit Patriot Freedom Project, which reports raising over $2.5 million to support riot defendants. Attorney General Pam Bondi called for creating the weaponization group in February to investigate claims by Trump and Republican allies that the Justice Department unfairly targeted conservatives during President Joe Biden's administration. The group's review includes the work of former special counsel Jack Smith, who led two federal prosecutions of Trump that were ultimately abandoned after Trump was elected to a second term. Fox News host Jeanine Pirro replaced Martin as the top federal prosecutor in Washington, but Martin immediately moved over to his current Justice Department position. Wise, who worked as a special agent or supervisory special agent for the FBI from 2004 through 2017, was arrested in Oregon on Capitol riot–related misdemeanor charges in May 2023. Wise repeatedly shouted 'Kill 'em!' as he watched rioters assaulting officers outside the Capitol, according to an FBI agent's affidavit. Wise clapped his hands and raised his arms in triumph after he entered the building through the Senate wing door, the affidavit says. He left the building about nine minutes after entering. Police body camera footage showed Wise berating police officers outside the Capitol and repeatedly shouting 'Shame on you!' 'I'm former law enforcement,' he told them. 'You're disgusting. You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo. You can't see it.' Wise was on trial in Washington when Trump returned to the White House in January and immediately pardoned, commuted prison sentences, or ordered the dismissal of cases for all of the nearly 1,600 people charged in the attack. The case against Wise was dismissed before the jury reached a verdict.

Fact-checking Trump's NATO news conference
President Donald Trump made false claims about the war in Ukraine, US inflation, and the past fight against the ISIS terror group during his Wednesday news conference at the NATO summit in the Netherlands. Trump also repeated his unproven assertion that the US' weekend military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites had left them 'obliterated.' As CNN reported Tuesday, an early US intelligence assessment found the core components of the program had not been completely destroyed and that the strikes had likely set back Iran's nuclear program only by months. (The US continues to collect intelligence on the impact of the strikes and later assessments could come to different conclusions.) Here is a fact check of some of Trump's assertions on Wednesday. When a reporter reminded Trump that he had previously promised to end Russia's war on Ukraine in '24 hours' but had later said he had been speaking sarcastically, Trump said, 'Of course it was sarcastic.' It was not sarcastic. When Trump claimed in April that he had made the promise 'in jest,' CNN looked into this assertion – and found 53 examples in which Trump pledged on the campaign trail, in an entirely serious tone, manner and context, that he would end the war either within 24 hours of his return to the White House or even sooner than that, as president-elect. Here is the list of examples. Trump again criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for not immediately lowering interest rates. Trump said, as he has before, that 'we have no inflation.' That's not true. The US had an annual inflation rate of 2.4% in May, an uptick from a 2.3% annual rate in April. That April rate was the lowest since early 2021, and lower than some economists expected for April after Trump imposed significant new tariffs, but it's not 'no inflation' whatsoever. On a month-to-month basis, US consumer prices increased 0.1% in May and 0.2% in April. Trump repeated his regular assertion that, during his first presidency, 'We beat ISIS in a matter of weeks.' He added, 'I was told it would take four to five years, we did it in a few weeks.' In fact, the so-called ISIS 'caliphate' was declared fully liberated more than two years into Trump's first presidency, in 2019, not in 'weeks.'
