However, Epps&#8217; apparent preferential treatment by law enforcement has contributed to speculation that he was an FBI informant who sought to provoke turmoil at the Capitol. While Epps ran to CBS to dispute any connection with the FBI, the interview raised more questions than answers. Epps&#8217; evident effort to encourage rioters to storm the Capitol building makes the partisan Jan. 6 Committee&#8217;s defense of him even more suspicious. Despite this, CBS News and The New York Times have come to his defense. Why would they do this? The Federalist&#8217;s Tristan Justice asks the tough questions and provides the answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBS News became the latest legacy outlet to come to Ray Epps\u2019 defense Sunday night with an interview on the network\u2019s flagship program \u201c60 Minutes.\u201d The network follows The New York Times in giving the Jan. 6 agitator a glossy profile, dismissing as \u201cconspiracies\u201d the allegations that Epps was in covert cooperation with federal law<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":494,"featured_media":1918613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[11912,6815,12469,6234,9372,4245,4224,8812],"class_list":["post-1918612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-11912","tag-answers","tag-epps","tag-interview","tag-minutes","tag-questions","tag-raises","tag-ray"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1918612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/494"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1918612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1918612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1918613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1918612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1918612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1918612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
