Washington, July 5 (RHC)-- A former FBI agent who allegedly encouraged rioters to murder police officers during the January 6th Capitol insurrection has been given a job at the Justice Department. 

According to a 2023 indictment, the former agent, Jared Wise, repeatedly shouted “Kill ’em!” at rioters as they battled a police line of officers protecting the Capitol. 

Wise was on trial in January when President Trump issued sweeping pardons and commutations for over 1,500 January 6 rioters on his first day back in office. 

The New York Times reports Wise is now serving as counselor to Ed Martin, the director of the so-called Weaponization Working Group, which Trump established to seek retribution against his enemies.  This comes after Attorney General Pam Bondi last week fired three more federal prosecutors who worked on January 6 cases.
