January 3, 2022 at 1:51pm The leader of the Oath Keepers and two of the men captured on video urging people to enter or proceed into the U.S. Capitol on January 6 have been subpoenaed by the defense to testify in the government's case against Kelly Meggs, an Oath Keeper accused of conspiring to storm the Capitol.
Stewart Rhodes, Ray Epps, and John Sullivan have been subpoenaed to testify at Meggs' trial in a move defense attorney Jon Moseley told National File he believes will prove his client's innocence, and will prove the entire prosecution to be politically motivated.
"A jury needs to see that Ray Epps went around, on video, telling people to enter the Capitol and beat up police," said Moseley.
In the first Revolver News article addressing Epps' presence in multiple videos, the outlet identified Epps as one of the "Primary orchestrators of the very first breach of the Capitol's police barricades" on January 6.
Moseley told National File that Epps' testimony about his behavior on January 6 and the days before it will likely prove there was no monolithic Oath Keepers or Proud Boys plot to storm the Capitol.
"My client, and the majority of January 6 defendants, are alleged to have done what we all saw Ray Epps do on video," said Moseley.
Meggs is a high profile member of the Oath Keepers who government documents indicate was placed in charge of the group's activities that day by unindicted Oath Keepers co-conspirator Person One, long believed to be Oath Keepers founder and leader Stewart Rhodes.
