Fact check: Did Trump name Jan. 6 rioter Jared Wise, who egged on a mob to “kill” the police, as an adviser to the Justice Department task force

1. Summary of the results

The analyses confirm that Jared Wise, a January 6 rioter who urged others to "kill" police officers, has indeed been appointed to a senior adviser position within the Department of Justice. Multiple sources verify this claim with consistent details:

• Jared Wise was a former FBI agent who participated in the January 6 Capitol riot and was caught on video encouraging rioters to attack and kill police officers ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
• He was pardoned by President Trump for his January 6-related charges ^[5]
• Following his pardon, he was hired as a senior adviser in the Department of Justice ^{[1] [5] [3] [4]}
• He is specifically serving as part of the "Weaponization Working Group" within the Justice Department ^[2]

The claim in the original statement is substantiated by multiple independent sources that provide corroborating evidence of Wise's appointment.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement lacks several important contextual details that emerge from the analyses:

• Jared Wise's background as a former FBI agent is not mentioned in the original question, which adds significant context to his appointment ^{[2] [4]}
• The presidential pardon that enabled his appointment is omitted from the original statement - this is crucial context showing the sequence of events that made his hiring possible ^[5]
• The specific name of the task force - the "Weaponization Working Group" - provides more precise information about his role ^[2]
• The existence of video evidence documenting his actions during January 6 is not referenced in the original question ^{[1] [4]}

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement appears to be factually accurate based on the available evidence from the analyses. However, there are some considerations:

• The phrasing "Did Trump name..." could be seen as leading or presumptive, though the analyses confirm the appointment did occur under Trump's administration
• The statement is incomplete rather than misleading - it accurately describes the core facts but omits important contextual information about the pardon and Wise's FBI background
• No contradictory evidence was found in any of the analyses to suggest the claim is false or misleading

The analyses consistently support the factual accuracy of the statement, with multiple sources confirming both Wise's actions during January 6 and his subsequent appointment to the Justice Department position.
