Original Note:
He is referring to the conspiracy theories claiming Ray Epps was an FBI agent who egged on the Jan 6th attacks. This was debunked. https://www.snopes.com/articles/389126/who-is-ray-epps/ https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/11/ray-epps-january-6-capitol-riot-probe-dismisses-claims-of-fbi-involvement.html https://www.politifact.com/article/2021/nov/17/story-doesnt-confirm-trump-supporter-jan-6-riot-fb/ He was also interviewed by the Jan 6th Committee under oath, but no connection was found so he would not be part of the final report. https://gazette.com/news/us-world/jan-6-transcripts-ray-epps-insists-he-had-no-contact-with-fbi-or-law-enforcement/article_f2bde28a-4f4f-5fea-82ea-f18d8cbd9084.html
