Read our privacy policy A quarter of Americans falsely believe federal law enforcement “probably” or “definitely” orchestrated the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, a claim at the centre of a persistent conspiracy theory promoted by right-wing media, Republican officials and former president Donald Trump. The results of a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll also found that 34 per cent of Republicans and 44 per cent of Americans who voted for Mr Trump continue to believe that FBI operatives organised and encouraged the attack. Yet the Washington Post-UMD poll also found that Republican voters are more likely to support January 6 defendants and less likely to blame Mr Trump for January 6 than they were two years ago. Fifty-five per cent of Americans believe the Capitol assault was “an attack on democracy that should never be forgotten” but fewer than a quarter of Republicans believe that statement.
