A lawyer for Ray Epps sent a letter to Fox News host Tucker Carlson demanding that he publicly retract his “false and defamatory statements” that Epps had worked as a government provocateur on Jan. 6, 2021, and helped to instigate the mob attack.
Ray Epps, the man at the center of a prominent conspiracy theory about the Capitol riot, with his wife, Robyn, in an undisclosed location.
“The fanciful notions that Mr. Carlson advances on his show regarding Mr. Epps’s involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection are demonstrably false,” Teter wrote. “And yet Mr. Carlson persists with his assault on the truth.”Letters seeking retractions and apologies are often sent when lawyers are preparing to file a defamation lawsuit. As Teter noted, Epps’ demands come as Carlson and other top figures at Fox are already under pressure from a $1.
Still, he became the face of the conspiracy theory that the federal government had instigated the Capitol attack for a single reason: He was never charged for what he did on Jan. 6. In reality, prosecutors declined to file charges against thousands of people who had breached the barricades outside the Capitol but never entered the building.
