After two-and-a-half years since his suspect actions on January 6, “mystery man” Ray Epps says he’s finally going to be criminally charged in connection with the event.
Buried in Epps’ legal complaint against Fox News and ex-host Tucker Carlson is a passage that indicates Epps averred statement that the Department of Justice is going to be criminally charged.

“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 states.
The complaint further blames Fox News for the criminal charges: “… it is difficult to believe that the Department of Justice would have pursued this matter if Fox had not focused its lies on Epps, ultimately the criminal charges conclusively demonstrate the falsehood of the story that Mr. Carlson and Fox told about Epps.”

The passage was found in Epps’ complaint to the Superior Court of Delaware, in which he sues Fox News and Tucker Carlson for “defamation.” The complaint itself throws in everything but the kitchen sink to accuse the network of a pattern of “lies” about the election and January 6.
However, the problem for Epps is that he is on video engaging in actions that was more egregious than that of numerous other J6 defendants charged for their role in the Capitol riots.

Many rushed to Tucker Carlson’s defense regarding the curious case of Ray Epps.
Ray Epps: “We need to go into the Capitol!”
FBI: “We’re arresting everyone who was near the Capitol except the guy who told people to go into the building”
Tucker Carlson: “Why has this guy who told people several times to go into the Capitol not been arrested?”…

Hey @colbyhall …why isn’t RAY in jail?!
Ray did far far worse than numerous people who got jailtime.
And do you really think he’ll? You really think he wants DISCOVERY?
Ray should have been locked up LONG AGOhttps://t.co/yh1rJAtACM

During FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony on Wednesday, he disavowed under oath that he had knowledge that Ray Epps is a “Fed.”
Rep. Cohen: “Do you have any knowledge of Ray Epps being a secret government agent?”
Christopher Wray: “Uhm no.”
Do you think he’s lying? YES or NOpic.twitter.com/vV9i9GdaJd

Epps was infamously caught on video inciting people to go into the Capitol building on January 6, but has not been charged for his activities and is consistently defended by Democrats and the legacy media. The criminal charges would be the first sign of accountability for his documented role in the events of January 6.
