Ray Epps, subject of Tucker Carlson’s alleged Jan. 6 plots, charged by DOJ

Ray Epps, a January 6 instigator who many have believed is a federal informant, has been charged in connection with the events that occurred at the Capitol.

Epps is charged with one misdemeanor count, disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds. Epps is not charged with entering the Capitol; he is only known to have been on the grounds on Jan. 6. A virtual plea agreement hearing was set for Wednesday, Sept. 20 before Chief Judge James Boasberg. 

The criminal information charges that Epps "did knowingly, and with intent to impede and disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business and official functions, engage in disorderly and disruptive conduct in and within such proximity to, a restricted building and grounds—that is, any posted, cordoned-off, and otherwise restricted area within the United States Capitol and its grounds, where the Vice President was and would be temporarily visiting—when and so that such conduct did in fact impede and disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business and official functions, and attempted and conspired to do so."

It's worth noting that Dominic Pezzola, a member of the Proud Boys who was sentenced to 10 years for his actions on Jan. 6, mentioned Epps’ name at trial.
