Looks like Epps was just an FBI pawn and they are cutting him loose by arresting him as an insurrectionist. It’s really the FBIs only move. They can’t confirm it.
The details of Ray Epps’ civil complaint against Fox News reveal that he is being criminally charged by the DOJ, almost three years after the fact.
“Finally, in May 2023, the Department of Justice notified Epps that it would seek to charge him criminally for events on January 6, 2021—two-and-a-half years later. The relentless attacks by Fox and Mr. Carlson and the resulting political pressure likely resulted in the criminal charges” the complaint reads.
