Tucker Carlson repeatedly endorsed a conspiracy that an Arizona man working as a covert government agent incited the Jan. 6 riot. The man may sue for defamation and legal experts say it would be a viable case. The case that could be Fox’s next Dominion:
Ray Epps and his wife, Robyn Epps, in an undated photo.
He repeated Epps’ name over and over — in nearly 20 episodes — imprinting it on the minds of his viewers. A defamation suit by Epps would be further evidence of how Carlson continues to pose a headache for Fox well after the network relieved him of his anchoring duties. Fox executives took him off the air after his text messages, which became public as part of the Dominion suit, revealed he had expressed hateful and racist sentiments.
Another video, taken on Jan. 6, also shows Epps encouraging people to march toward the Capitol. Then he bends down to whisper in a man’s ear moments before the man and rioters overcome police officers and breach the security perimeter around the Capitol grounds. It is difficult to hear what Epps says in the video.
The fact that Epps has not been charged is largely in keeping with hundreds, if not thousands, of individual decisions that the Justice Department has made in its vast investigation of the Capitol attack. Carlson, in his legal defense, could point to inconsistencies in Samsel’s account. He could also note that Epps sent a text to a family member, well after the riot ended, saying he helped “orchestrate” the movements of people toward the Capitol.
