NEW January6thCmte transcripts: Ray Epps insists he had no contact with FBI or law enforcement
Allies of former President Donald Trump and some members of the right-wing media have said Epps, a former head of an anti-government militia group, may have provoked rioters during the attack on Jan. 6, 2021.New transcripts released by the committee, however, appear to undercut this theory, which Epps said in July may propel him to sue public figures.
"No, sir," replied Epps, clarifying that he also did not speak or coordinate with police, the CIA, or the National Security Agency. In other places during his testimony, Epps revealed that he tried to calm down rioters who were in the vicinity of police. One of these rioters was the internet personality"Baked Alaska," also known as Anthime Gionet, who is going to jail in 2023 in connection to his participation in the Capitol riot and has accused Epps of being an informant.
The Jan. 6 committee has previously indicated Epps said"that he was not employed by, working with, or acting at the direction of any law enforcement agency on Jan 5th or 6th or at any other time, & that he has never been an informant for the FBI or any other law enforcement agency."
