Ray Epps, who was placed at the centre of a right-wing conspiracy theory alleging that he was a federal informant instigating a mob to storm the US Capitol on January 6, has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour charge of disorderly conduct.
Mr Epps appeared virtually for a brief federal court appearance on 20 September to enter a plea agreement following a charge of disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds, as he admitted to breaching police barriers outside the building, placing his hands on a sign that pushed into police, and wrote text messages admitting his presence and role in the mob on the Capitol grounds.
