Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) accused Attorney General Merrick Garland Wednesday of lying during a House Judiciary Committee hearing about his knowledge of federal law enforcement activities during th…
Massie previously tangled with Garland in October 2021 over the same issue, questioning whether undercover FBI agents were present for the storming of the Capitol grounds., who had urged protesters on the eve of the “Stop the Steal” rally “to go into the Capitol” — but had never been charged.
“I don’t know the answer to either of those questions,” Garland said. “If there were any, I don’t know how many. I don’t know whether there are any.” “You’ve had two years to find out,” Massie interjected. “By the way, that was in reference to Ray Epps, and yesterday you indicted him. Isn’t that a wonderful coincidence? On a misdemeanor.
Washington, DC, US Attorney Matthew Graves charged Epps on Tuesday with one count of disrupting the certification of the 2020 election and entering a restricted area at the Capitol.
