As of right now, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C. isn’t commenting:
It’s unclear what federal agents were involved. A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., said they "can confirm there was law enforcement activity in that area yesterday," but declined to comment on specific individuals or the nature of that activity. https://t.co/k7dOG6onmh

The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway called the raid “absolutely disgusting ” and “it is even worse that they’re clearly working in conjunction with the Stalinist J6 Committee for maximum public relations”:
Absolutely disgusting. And it is even worse that they're clearly working in conjunction with the Stalinist J6 Committee for maximum public relations. Just awful. Horrifying that this Soviet-style approach is happening here. https://t.co/61zA9VawY0
