Undercover DC Police Officer Pushed Protesters Toward Capitol, Climbed Over Barricade: Court Filing

Three undercover Metropolitan Police Department officers joined the march of protesters up the northwest side of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021โ€”including one who climbed over a barricade and pushed others toward the Capitol and another who walked behind Ashli Babbitt and predicted that โ€œsomeone will get shot,โ€ according to newly disclosed court documents.

New filings by Jan. 6 defendant William Pope of Topeka, Kansas, also show MPD bicycle officers stopping four armed men in plainclothes on Jan. 6. The men turned out to be federal agents. Video included with Popeโ€™s filings also shows uniformed MPD officers saying, โ€œWe were set up [to fail on Jan. 6].โ€

Information in the court papers will rekindle the debate about the role that undercover officers and agents played in the riots of Jan. 6 and why the U.S. Department of Justice and federal judges have kept the evidence under seal and away from public view.

โ€œThis video clearly evidences undercover law enforcement officers urging the crowds to advance up the stairs and scaffolding towards the Capitol on January 6,โ€ Pope wrote in one motion. โ€œThe government may claim that incidents like this did not happen, but the facts show they did.โ€

โ€œSince the government cannot be trusted to disclose these facts,โ€ Pope wrote, โ€œit becomes even more important that defense teams, including Pro Se defendants, be able to directly examine the evidence.โ€

The three undercover MPD officers approached the northwest corner of the Capitol grounds at about 1:40 p.m. on Jan. 6, one of the motions states. Officer 1, who was filming their journey, joined the crowd chanting, โ€œDrain the swamp!โ€

When a group of men ran past them toward the Capitol, Officer 2โ€”wearing a Trump beanieโ€”remarked, โ€œThose guys are getting shot,โ€ the motion said.

At the base of the scaffold stairs, Officer 1 joined the crowd in a chant, โ€œWhose house? Our house!โ€
