Theory

January 6 was a Fed-led operation theory

Tucker Carlson's three-part March 2021 documentary 'Patriot Purge' and his March 2023 broadcasts of Capitol surveillance footage (released by Speaker Kevin McCarthy) advanced the claim that the January 6 2021 Capitol attack was substantially instigated by FBI informants and undercover federal agents.

Key cited figures included Ray Epps, an Arizona Trump supporter filmed urging people into the Capitol who was initially not charged, and references in court filings to 'unindicted co-conspirators' interpreted as informants. The FBI has confirmed informants were present in the crowd but not in leadership roles; Epps was charged with disorderly conduct in September 2023 and pleaded guilty.

The theory has been amplified by Darren Beattie's Revolver News, Steve Bannon's War Room, and Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee.
