A glowing profile of Ray Epps published last week by The New York Times has done little to quell suspicions on the right that the self-professed onetime Trump supporter had a mystery role in the January 6 Capitol riot.
Epps, a 61-year-old Arizona man, is seen in multiple video clips from January 6 and the day before trying to whip up other Trump supporters to “go into the Capitol” the next day. Whether by virtue of his own size and air of authority or some unknown factor, Epps appears in many clips to be taking on a leadership role among Trump supporters who showed up to protest what they believed was a stolen 2020 presidential election.
