Washington, D.C. – Representative Paul Gosar, DDS (AZ-04) issued the following statement after introducing a Resolution of Inquiry (RoI) directing the Attorney General of the United States to transmit copies of all documents, memoranda, advisory legal opinions, notes from meetings, audio recordings, records, correspondences, other communications, or any portion of such communications that refers or relates to Mr. Ray Epps to the House of Representatives not later than 14 days after the date of adoption.

“Multiple videos show Ray Epps repeatedly urging crowds of people in Washington, D.C. on January 5 and January 6, 2021 to go to the United States Capitol and breach the building.  Epps is the one person seen on video directing people towards the Capitol seconds before violence broke out, yet he has never been arrested or charged with any crime while more than 800 others have and countless more remained jailed.

If the Department of Justice has nothing to hide and is genuinely interested in what happened on January 6, they should release every piece of information relating to Ray Epps’ involvement on that day.  Then and only then will the American people know what really happened,” concluded Congressman Gosar.
