A man whose life was upended by right-wing conspiracy theories accusing him of being a federal agent assigned to entrap Donald Trump’s supporters has been sentenced to one year of probation for crimes connected to the January 6 attack.
Ray Epps received a sentence of 12 months of probation on 9 January after pleading guilty to a charge of disorderly or disruptive conduct for joining a mob in Washington DC and encouraging rioters to march to the US Capitol, where the former president’s loyalists stormed the halls of Congress to reject the results of the 2020 presidential election.
