Mr Trump took to social networking platform Twitter – which has been blocked from the Google Play store – on Tuesday morning, during which he posted references to QAnon and the Ray Epps conspiracy theory. The former president “ReTruthed” – tweeted, in Twitter terms – a post by a person named “Scottolsen” who claimed that neither the former president nor his supporters wanted to storm the Capitol on January 6, 2021, but instead they promoted a completely debunked conspiracy theory that the FBI worked with antifa to instigate the riot. “There is overwhelming evidence that it was not the goal of Trump, nor of his supporters, to invade the capital. [sic]. The FBI colluded with antifa to make this happen,” he wrote. “I don’t blame you for not knowing where to find the right information, but as a good American, you owe it to yourself to think critically to properly investigate this claim.” None of this is true. Mr Trump also shared a post focusing on Mr Epps’ wife – the man right-wing conspiracy theorists believe was working with the FBI to foment the rebellion on Capitol Hill – suggesting she was the national director of sales and development at Dominion Enterprises . The post claimed Ms Epps’ company was a division of Dominion Voting and implied it could not have been a coincidence. Right-wing conspiracy theorists also believe that Dominion Voting somehow rigged the voting machines to steal the 2020 election from Mr. Trump. There is no evidence for any of these claims, and Dominion has sued several people, including MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani and former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, in a multibillion-dollar lawsuit over their claims. Mr Trump asked “is that true?” in his post, amplifying his reach to all his followers on Truth Social. In fact, Mr. Epps was a Trump supporter who was on Capitol Hill on January 6th. In a video from the day before, Mr. Epps was filmed firing into a crowd, calling on them to demonstrate at the Capitol. However, Mr Epps said he never entered the Capitol and left the site on the day of the attack after helping someone who had been pepper-sprayed by the crowd. He turned himself in to the FBI upon learning that the FBI was looking for him and was not charged with any crimes related to the Capitol attack. He has since been in hiding after receiving threats on his life and having Trump supporters confront him at his former home about the conspiracy theory.
