If the article said that the FBI has said that he was not an agent, the article is wrong. The FBI has consistently dodged or outright refused to answer questions about whether Epps is an agent. Unless they mean “agent” in the sense of a sworn FBI law enforcement officer. He’s wasn’t that, but best explanation for his behavior, his lack of prosecution, his inclusion and unexplained dropping from the FBI’s Most Wanted List, and the FBI’s stonewalling questions about whether he was working for them is that he was working for them on Jan 5, and 6.Tucker Carlson, the bow-tied mouthpiece for the Republican Party, has been hit with a formal demand for an on-air apology after he falsely claimed that Ray Epps, a man who was seen on video encouraging people to enter the Capitol on January 6, was an FBI agent.
Epps' lawyer, John Pierce, sent Carlson a letter demanding that he retract his false statements and apologize to Epps. Pierce said that Carlson's claims have caused Epps to be harassed and threatened, and that they have damaged his reputation.
Carlson has not yet responded to Pierce's letter. The article also states that Epps has denied being an FBI agent, and that the FBI has said that he was not an agent.
Carlson's claims about Epps are false and defamatory. He should retract them and apologize to Epps, but he won't because he's a lying, sniveling, cowardly little worm who would rather spread lies and hate than admit when he's wrong.
