A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed January 6 defendant Ray Epps' year-long defamation lawsuit against Fox News, ruling that Epps failed to "state a claim."
Epps, who some conservatives had speculated was an undercover FBI agent sent by the bureau to stoke the January 6 riot in 2021, filed the lawsuit last year, claiming that an indictment from the Justice Department might not have surfaced against him if it wasn't for Fox's coverage.
The January 6 defendant also argued that Fox News and former host Tucker Carlson engaged in a "years-long campaign spreading falsehoods about Epps." Those falsehoods, the original complaint alleged, had destroyed the lives of Epps and his wife, per NBC News.
U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer Hall on Wednesday agreed with Fox News' argument that Epps failed to "state a claim."

I never understood why Fox settled with Dominion. They really didn't do much discovery from what I understand. I suspect a deal was made that was more than just a monetary settlement.
The narrative that was promoted by their settling was worth way more to Dominion and the left than any money. Now, no one can question Dominion's election computers ever again. A fear of "look what happened to Fox" would dampen anyone's enthusiasm for reporting even the most obvious and egregious cases of voter tallying fraud. I wonder? Did Fox ever have to actually pay that money?
BTTT
Truth is an absolute defense. If he wasn’t an FBI agent, he definitely was connected.
Lets see what happens after Jan 20
Sounds like, the powers that be, did not want discovery, in this case, that would prove, he was, indeed, an FBI asset, and, J6, was a deep state set-up.
a real crawl up his azz type investigation is in order, after the whitewash that was done before...
I wondered about that too since the ability to manipulate the machines was demonstrated in court a few months later.
Discovery would have been fun on this case.
There is no way Epps could hide his ties.
OMG,
THAT SETTLEMENT OF FOX WITH DOMINION IS THE MOST DISTRESSING, DISGUSTING THAT COULD OCCUR.
I am thankful that I am not the only one who thought it was ......COWARDLY.
Go back 15 years ago...in Germany. Merkel’s crew was going to bring in the automation. The hackers asked for the right to attempt to hack in...Merkel for some reason agreed. Took about an hour, but the demo worried the politicians. So the whole purchase agreement halted. Everything today in Germany is still paper.
First time hearing of this for me.
Epps needs to lawyer-up and shut-up. He’s been busted.
Did they deny it under oath?
The FBI has no problem lying to the press.
Wray continues to stonewall Congress regarding the FBI’s use of “assets” on J6 .
Wray flat out ignores them. Wray should be waterboarded.
Even if they were under oath, it’s moot. He was definitely acting as a provocateur on behalf of somebody. If it wasn’t the FIB, it was some other alphabet organization. CIA, NSC, BB King, whatever.
Hate to burst your bubble, but members of the FBI have no problem lying under oath, either. It’s a totally corrupt agency that was ruined by Obama and the partisans he and his handlers put in place at the top levels.
>> BB King
Elvis was an agent.
An informant. Same thing without the training. Beatles mention BB King in the same breath as FBI and CIA in that song. Therefore, he might have been an agent./lol
Dig It, Dig It, Dig It.
They also mentioned Doris Day
