Ibrahim wasn t working as a law-enforcement officer at the Capitol on Jan. 6, but he told investigators after the riot that he was there to help a friend who had been asked to document the event for the FBI.
The friend denied that, however, and told investigators that Ibrahim had concocted the false story to “cover his ass, according to a case summary signed by senior special agent with the Justice Department s Office of the Inspector General.
“According to Ibrahim s friend, Ibrahim went to the rally in order to promote himself,” the OIG agent wrote. “Ibrahim had been thinking about his next move after leaving the DEA and wanted the protests to be his stage for launching a Liberty Tavern political podcast and cigar brand.”
