The cases of Ray Epps and Donald Trump collide in federal court
Falsely believing Donald Trump’s election lies broadcast on Fox News, Ray Epps travelled from Arizona to Washington DC, rallied alongside a mob, yelled for the crowd to march to the US Capitol, and then spent the next three years as the face of an ongoing conspiracy theory that, along with the criminal case against him, has ruined his life.
He was a federal plant, there to entrap supporters, as part of a “deep state” plot working under then-President Trump’s administration to take him down, so that the mob could be arrested and charged as political prisoners under a Democratic regime, so the conspiracy goes.
