According to Ray Epps, three years after the event, Ray Epps’ will potentially 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.
Epps did more than many people already arrested. He did what he did. Tucker and Fox didn’t do it. He is on camera, riling up the crowd. It still doesn’t make sense that he wasn’t arrested sooner.
Despite his efforts encouraging people to go into the Capitol to be arrested, Epps was treated sympathetically by the media and the J6 witch hunt panel. Oddly, he was the only J6 protester the Left and J6 panel liked.
We still haven’t seen these alleged upcoming charges. If there are any, will he get the Hunter-style deal?
Epps claims he was a loyal Fox viewer and Trump supporter. He could be lying about that.
COMPLETELY NUTS STORY
Will he really be criminally charged? We’ll see. In the meantime, as Sean Davis wrote, the story is completely nuts. It’s crazytown. Epps is on camera repeatedly telling people to go into the Capitol, knowing they’ll get arrested. He is still on the FBI field office tweet as a wanted man for his part in J6 violence, but Tucker is the bad guy?
Powerful Case:

Did Faux News settle with Epps yet? Epps may become a rich man soon. Any statement made on Faux can be used or distorted to justify giving him millions.
Isn’t this merely a way to go after Tucker? We already know Faux is on the side of the corrupt establishment. Isn’t this a way to drain Tucker’s resources away from his media venture? Faux will gladly spend a few million to help take down Tucker.
Where does Epps get the money to launch such a big lawsuit? He claims he is poor. Isn’t that money laundered from the government?
I think the title should be changed to more accurately depict the story. So far this is just a claim if he is really charged remains to be seen. Is this the FBI helping him with his lawsuit and covering up. And on the off-chance that he actually IS charged, will he ever be tried or will the charges be quietly dropped later and the media ignores the story? “We intend to charge you” is a VERY long way from going to trial.
