After years of controversy over his role in fomenting the January 6 riots, Ray Epps has been formally charged with a sole count of ‘disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds.’
The solitary charge was filed by U.S. Attorney for the District of Washington D.C., Matthew Graves, in district court. It alleges that Epps “did knowingly, and with the intent to impede and disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business and official functions, engage in disorderly and disruptive conduct” in a restricted building “where the Vice President was and would be temporarily visiting.”

In the aftermath of January 6, Epps gained notoriety for avoiding legal consequences while many other participants faced severe sentencing and endured harsh conditions awaiting trial. He even appeared temporarily on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted until he was suddenly and inexplicably scrubbed from the list.
Speculation circulated, suggesting that Epps might have had ties to the federal government and may have played a role in instigating the riots.
Video evidence surfaced showing him encouraging others to enter the Capitol during the Electoral College’s certification of the 2020 election results.
The night before the Electoral College met, Epps encouraged the crowd to go “into the Capitol, into the Capitol,” and the crowd broke out into a chant of “Fed! Fed! Fed! Fed!”
On the day of January 6, Epps whispered something to Ryan Samsel, the first person to breach the Capitol grounds on January 6.
The last person to whisper something to Ryan Samsel, one of the first J6ers to breach exterior police lines that day, was Ray Epps.

As Julie Kelly pointed out, Samsel was subject to harsh punishment, while Epps remained uncharged — until today, after two years of public pressure.
Ray Epps is suing Fox News for portraying him as an instigator of the Capitol riot on January 6. Legal discovery should be very interesting.
