Former FBI agent and J6 defendant Jared Wise has officially resigned from his senior position at the DOJ.
In a bombshell announcement on X, Wise revealed that the rot within the federal government is so deep that the only way to truly expose the FBI and DOJ’s weaponization against Trump supporters is from the outside.
“Today I resigned from my position at the U.S. Department of Justice. I returned to Washington to fully expose the abuses by the FBI and DOJ against J6 defendants, but it became clear that this will only happen from outside of government. So I left and will do so.”

Wise, a former FBI agent turned federal whistleblower and Project Veritas journalist, had been brought into the DOJ as a counselor to Ed Martin, who previously led the Department of Justice’s “Weaponization Working Group,” a unit tasked with investigating “politicized justice” and “abuses of the criminal justice process.”
Wise was on the ground January 6 as a journalist and patriot documenting the events, and yes, in the heat of the moment as violence erupted (much of it allegedly instigated or allowed by federal assets, as whistleblowers have testified), bodycam footage captured him allegedly referring to certain police officers as “Nazis” and “Gestapo” and yelling “Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!” The FBI affidavit used that to charge him with two felonies and four misdemeanors.
Wise’s case was dismissed the day President Trump was inaugurated, as part of the sweeping pardons that freed hundreds of J6 defendants from the greatest miscarriage of justice in modern American history.
Yet the radical Democrats at the time were having a meltdown over Wise even being hired in the first place.
In a whiny letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the usual swamp creatures – Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Adam Schiff (D-CA) – demanded Wise should resign:
“We strongly object to the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) shameless hiring of Jared Wise as a senior adviser. This is an individual who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, and was accordingly charged with multiple felony offenses, including assaulting and aiding and abetting the assault of police while on Capitol grounds… The Trump Administration’s choices to double down on its politicization of DOJ and elevate those who have actively attacked the rule of law, such as Mr. Wise, are a slap in the face to law enforcement everywhere.”
DOJ itself initially pushed back, with a spokesperson declaring: “Jared Wise is a valued member of the Justice Department and we appreciate his contributions to our team.”
Wise resignation follows Trump’s firing of Bondi as US attorney general, and Todd Blanche will replace Bondi in the interim.
