Ray Epps, the man who has been the subject of right-wing conspiracies that he was a federal informant after he was filmed corralling rioters during the Capitol riot, told the Jan. 6 committee that he never made contact with law enforcement.
Allies of former President Donald Trump and some members of the right-wing media have said
Epps, a former head of an anti-government militia group, may have provoked rioters during the attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
New transcripts released by the committee, however,
appear to undercut this theory, which
Epps said in July may propel him to sue public figures.
Epps, behind closed doors by the committee, according to the transcripts
released on Thursday, was asked:
"At any point on January 5th — so we've asked you this question about December 27th through January 4th, but now let's just focus in on January 5th. Did you coordinate or speak with any law enforcement officials from the FBI?"
"No, sir," replied Epps, clarifying that he also did not speak or coordinate with police, the CIA, or the National Security Agency.
"Any other law enforcement officials, other than the other folks you mentioned earlier, you might have interacted with at the plaza as you were deescalating?"
Epps was also asked, to which he said, "No, sir."
Comment: One wonders if the child might be better off not taking the infamous Biden name and continuing to have nothing to do with the family.
