Ray Epps, an Arizona man whose role in the events of Jan. 6 Capitol breach has been the subject of much scrutiny and conjecture, has filed a lawsuit against Fox News for defamation.

In a complaint filed in Delaware Superior Court on July 12 (pdf), Mr. Epps accused the network of a long-running campaign of “spreading falsehoods” that he was an undercover FBI agent who egged people on to breach the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021.
