Ray Epps Claimed He Believed Capitol Was Open to Public on January 6

Ray Epps, a mysterious January 6 figure some theorized to be a federal informant, told congressional investigators he believed the U.S. Capitol was open to the public on the day of the riot.

The assertion appears in a long-awaited transcript released Thursday by the House January 6 Committee, which released its final report last week. Epps, a self-proclaimed supporter of former President Donald Trump who raised concerns about the 2020 election, was asked about January 5, 2021, video footage showing him urging a crowd to “go into the Capitol” the next day.

Epps said “yes” when asked if he was under the impression that the Capitol would be open on January 6, the day lawmakers met to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. He again said “yes” when the word “open” in this case was described as “like, open to visitors, like anyone could walk in.”

Now why do we believe he is a "mysterious" figure. He was wearing a Trump hat and Epps was caught on video before January 6 as he incited Trump’s supporters to “go into the Capitol.” But, he was never charged by the January 6 Select Committee.

Of course, Epps denies the conspiracy theorists that he was with the corrupt FBI.
