- Ray Epps was caught on camera on Jan. 6, 2021, urging protesters to go into the Capitol. That prompted some protesters to accuse him of being a federal officer.
- Despite that, Epps denied in his interview with the House panel that he was working for the FBI at the time of the Capitol riot.
- He also said during the interview that at no point was he in contact with law enforcement officials from the FBI the month before the Capitol riot.
