JUST IN: U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk confirms that an undercover Metro police officer was instigating illegal activity on January 6 by urging protesters to enter the Capitol building.

“We know that it is one of their officers and at one point he is encouraging, and it appears he’s encouraging, he’s definitely helping people climb the scaffolding, and he’s telling them ‘go, go, go,’” Loudermilk said during an interview with the Just the News.

“Why is an officer encouraging people to climb the scaffolding and go into the Capitol? And secondly, why did the MPD Metropolitan Police support department decide to put undercover officers in the crowd? Was there intelligence that they had that was or was not passed on to the Capitol Police and what did the Capitol police do with that evidence, if they got it?”
