The host of "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC on Friday voiced bafflement over the FBI's investigation into the fatal January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Maddow reported how Ryan J. Reilly and Jesselyn Cook confirmed the identity of one man after being contacted by a tipster who said her efforts to alert the FBI to the man's identity had not received a response.

Fox News on Friday attempted to defend the fatal insurrection by Donald Trump by pushing whataboutism that unfavorably compared the effort to end democracy by overturning an election to protests by those seeking police reform.

"You even notice how all like the scary, internet conspiracy theorists, radical, QAnon people, and you actually see them on camera -- or in jail cells, where a lot of them now are -- maybe they're kind of confused, maybe they've got the wrong ideas, but they're all kind of gentle people and they're all kind of waving American flags, they like the country," Tucker Carlson said.

Senate Democrats have reached an agreement on unemployment benefits in the coronavirus relief legislation after a nine-hour standoff, The Washington Post reported Friday evening.

"The agreement would extend the existing $300 weekly unemployment benefit through Sept. 6, as well as provide tax relief on benefits for households making under $150,000," the newspaper reported.
