WASHINGTON, DC: Rudy Giuliani stirred controversy on Wednesday, May 24, by suggesting that a 'Hollywood producer' was behind the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. 

During his livestream, Giuliani voiced outrage over reports that FBI agents who searched Mar-a-Lago were authorized to use deadly force.

"An armed invasion of the man's home, with a teenage son there, with no indication of arms or any armed resistance. None. Except to create a dramatic effect!" he claimed.

"You know, January 6th had a damn Hollywood producer doing it," Giuliani added. "And they snowed everybody on the left, and boy, they got a lot of our people pissing in their pants."

"You're gonna find out that January 6 was a set-up, just like Russian collusion, just like the hard drive, and just like the stolen election, and just like what they're doing right now, [with Donald Trump] facing four trials in one year."

Context of the Capitol riot on January 6

The January 6 attack on the US Capitol occurred during a joint session of Congress convened to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol, disrupting the proceedings and prompting widespread condemnation. The incident was widely regarded as an insurrection attempt and an act of domestic terrorism.

Notably, Giuliani's involvement in the events leading up to the Capitol riot resurfaced in the aftermath of his recent comments. On the day of the attack, Giuliani had urged Trump supporters to engage in "trial by combat." While he later claimed his remarks were hyperbolic, they have continued to draw scrutiny.
