"On the morning of January 6, 2021, FI DUONG and an associate of his (ASSOCIATE 1) introduced themselves to a Metropolitan Police Department Undercover Employee (MPD UCE) in the vicinity of Freedom Plaza, Washington, D.C. DUONG asked the MPD UCE if he/she was a “patriot,” to which the MPD UCE responded in the affirmative and asked DUONG the same question. DUONG responded by claiming to be an “operator.”
This matter came forth from court documents of June 30 that pertained to the indictment of Fi Doung, a man of “loosely affiliated, unnamed group of like-minded individuals” compared to a “known militia group located in Northern Virginia." These documents further revealed that the undercover federal employee interacted with the patriot group affiliate, including another person described as “ASSOCIATE 1.”
The federal employee befriended Duong and the documents that were used to indict him claimed that "Duong intended to “take a stand” violently in Virginia rather than uproot to Texas, however, it is unclear whether Duong openly suggested violence or merely political action."
The investigations will go on until the federal involvement comes to the fore for instigating, participating, or documenting the civil unrest that occurred on January 6, 2021.
