Ray Epps and Jayden X on January 5th before Epps led rioters on January 6. – screengrab

Infamous J-6 instigator Ray Epps never served time for any crimes after the January 6, 2021, protests and riot at the US Capitol.

Ray Epps was listed as #16 on the FBI Most Wanted List for a few days after the January 6, 2021 protests until he was removed from the list.

Epps led the charge on the US Capitol and was up front when protesters broke through two bike rack barriers. And it was Ray Epps who pushed a giant MAGA sign at police, a crime that sent at least eight protesters to prison for several years.

Yet, Ray Epps was quickly removed from the FBI Most Wanted List in 2021 for some reason. We still have no idea why the FBI did this.

The FBI was very interested in capturing Ray Epps after the J6 protests and riot – until they removed him from their Most Wanted list.

In 2025, investigative journalist Yehuda Miller, on behalf of The Gateway Pundit, made a FOIA request from the Department of Justice for any and all information regarding Ray Epps and January 6, including all communications and directives relating to the removal of Ray Epps from the wanted list.

We also requested all communications between the FBI and Ray Epps from Jan 1, 2020, through Jan 1, 2025, and all files, records, and communications relating to Ray Epps from Jan 1, 2020, through Jan 1, 2025.

On Thursday, we received a response to our FOIA request on Ray Epps.

The FBI rejected the FOIA request, saying, “While the existence of FBI records is acknowledged, the records are exempt from disclosure as processing these third-party records would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”

What was that supposed to mean? They have the records, but releasing them may be “an invasion of Ray Epps’ personal privacy?”

“The FBI has completed its search for records subject to the FOIA that are responsive to your request. The records on third party individuals) you requested are categorically denied pursuant to FOIA exemptions (b)(6) and (b)(7)(C), 5 U.S.C. §§ 552 (b)(6) and (b)(7)(C). Please be advised that you have not sufficiently demonstrated that the public’s interest in disclosure (relating to the operations and activities of the government) outweigh the personal privacy interests of these individual(s). While the existence of FBI records is acknowledged, the records are exempt from disclosure as processing these third-party records would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. As a result, your request is closed.”

As we looked further into this FOIA response, on page 4, the FBI explains that the documents were denied because, according to (b)(6), “personnel and medical files and similar files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy.”

This is a ridiculous excuse to deny these documents to the public. Of course, the public has a right to know who Ray Epps was working with and what the FBI knew about his role on January 6.  They just don’t want to disclose this.

The FBI also suggested there was not ample interest in the Ray Epps story with the general public:

“Please be advised that you have not sufficiently demonstrated the public’s interest in disclosure”

What BS.

There is extreme public interest, evidenced by Kash Patel himself talking about it, and evidenced by FOX News, 60 Minutes, and every major independent media outlet reporting on the Ray Epps story. That statement is absurd!

This week, the FBI responded to Yehuda Miller’s request for information on Ray Epps.

The FBI now claims they have 1,840 pages of records, 27 minutes of audio and 49 minutes of Video relating to Ray Epps.

Then Yehuda reveals that the FBI will not release all of the documents until June 2028!

Seven years after the Fedsurrection on the US Capitol.

What are they hiding?  I think we all know.

Here is Yehuda’s tweet on X.
