Except, it didn't say "dressed like a federal agent" in the initial part of the tweet, it said "a man wearing an earpiece".  Later it said "a man dressed like a government agent".  It's probably assumed that a man wearing black with an earpiece was most likely a government agent.

In the video, people are heard saying "do not go in there", yet this guy seems to encourage it.

To me it looks like a case of entrapment.

The government agents you see wondering around the White House from time to time (I was on vacation up there in April) wear very distinctive wireless black ear pieces and dress in civilian clothes so they won't stand out.

In this video, there's a guy in a black jacket with a white ear piece with cord attached and a walkie-talkie at the window in front. The guy commenting in the video says they're "suspicious actors". Later he calls him "a government agent". There's nothing in the video or commentary to justify those statements. In fact, you can also see a couple guys in similar dress near the back, wearing gray belts. The commentor also says the first guy in black has not been arrested which I don't doubt, since he's masked and has a hat on, he's probably never been identified. 

A more reasonable explanation is he was probably one of the Proud Boys who like to dress like that and who were all over the place during the riots.
