Description
In a 2024 interview with News2Share, former militia leader Kenneth "Ken" Michael "Mike" Dunn breaks down crying and reveals that he had been suffering "depression and suicidal ideation" when FBI agents entered his life and "diverted" him from causing a shootout between militiamen and police and sparking a "war inside the state of Virginia."
The scene unfolded in the series finale of Fall of the Boogaloo, streaming on News2Share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBB5cr1EgC0&list=PLAdIVRQGJkbo&index=10
Initially, through tears, he continued to deny being a federal informant.
Mr Dunn initially began choking up when asked about FBI Special Agent Jennifer Fisher saying she was "proud" of him in a 2023 text.
Dunn says he was hellbent on suicide or death by cop at age 20 when the FBI "provided personal advice for me as individuals, not as agents."
"They helped bring some balance to my life."
While formerly the de facto leader of the anti-government Boogaloo movement, Mr Dunn tearfully spoke about how FBI agents "do good stuff" and that the two he formed a relationship with, Jason McCoy and Jennifer Fisher are "the reason I'm alive today."
"They're the reason there was no shootout in Richmond," Dunn says. "They're the reason I didn't push the police far enough to kill me."
"At 19, 20, 21 year old me wanted to fight," he added through tears. "I wanted to go to war. I wanted to die because of how depressed this country has become."
He says two the FBI agents "are the reason I'm alive. And I thank them for it."
"The last thing I want is the FBI angry with me," former militia leader Mike Dunn said after partially confessing his relationship with federal agents on tape.
He adds that agents first entered his life around his October 2020 armed demonstration at a Newport News, Virginia police station.
In a phone call from Thailand in 2025, former militia leader Kenneth "Mike" Dunn confessed to being a registered informant for the FBI.
He says he signed a contract but "before that, I was an informant just without, you know, the paperwork."
He admits his "handlers" were Jason McCoy and Jennifer Fisher, but "I never really looked at it that way, of oh, I'm a federal informant leading a protest."
Dunn admitted by phone to being paid as an FBI federal informant, but continued to deny informing on militiaman Rhino 6, who was visited by his handlers following January 6.
Instead, he directs the blame toward his former best friend Trevor "Victor 6" Herrin, who he calls "an informant, who was apparently cross-informing on me" that was at January 6 along with Rhino 6.
Mr. Dunn sent News2Share a photo of cash apparently paid to him from the FBI. After denying it for years, he admits he was paid to turn in David Phillips over an illegal firearm, which is the reason he began informing on him.
Dunn continues to maintain that Phillips had plotted a never-prosecuted terror attack.
