It’s not about hurting people.”As Epps makes these remarks, some members of the crowd can be heard in the video chanting “fed.”Is Epps a Federal Agent? There is absolutely no evidence to indicate that Epps is a federal agent or that he was working with the government. The claim that Epps is an undercover federal agent is largely based on the fact that Epps has not been arrested. Those claiming that Epps was a federal agent attempting to incite Trump supporters to violence ignore the fact that Epps’ comments were not especially unique. While in D.C., Epps was filmed telling other Trump supporters to go “into” the U.S. Capitol “peacefully.” In another video, Epps is seen de-escalating a fight between police and protesters.
