Three years after the event, Ray Epps’ will be criminally charged by the DOJ. The fact was revealed in the complaint against Fox News and Tucker Carlson.
“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.
The complaint continues, blaming 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.
That’s bogus in the sense that Epps did more than many of the people already arrested. He did what he did. It still doesn’t make sense that he wasn’t arrested sooner.
Epps was treated sympathetically by the media and the J6 witch hunt panel. He was the only J6 protester that the Left and the J6 panel liked.
Epps claims he was a loyal Fox viewer and Trump supporter. He could be lying about that.
