‘He initially appeared on the FBI’s wanted list in relation to the Capitol rioting, only to be removed in the summer of 2021 with no explanation’
After a two-day hearing, a federal judge tossed Ray Epps’ defamation lawsuit against Fox News on Wednesday, saying he didn’t provide enough facts to show that former host Tucker Carlson acted with “actual malice” when he insinuated that Epps may have been working with the government to provoke the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Hill uprising.
The Hill reported Epps was “at the center of a conspiracy theory about what sparked” the events that day, when protesters objecting to what they perceived as unusual election procedures that gave the White House to Joe Biden eventually rioted.
Epps, a former U.S. Marine, sued Fox claiming the network “knowingly” promoted what his lawyers claimed were “destructive conspiracy theories.”
Fox stated it was “pleased” with several decisions, including the Epps case, “from federal courts preserving the press freedoms of the First Amendment.”
