Federal prosecutors have recommended a six-month prison sentence for Ray Epps, who was involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

Prosecutors noted Epps' efforts to deescalate conflicts between rioters and police officers, and his cooperation with the FBI and Congress.
Epps, a former U.S. Marine and ex-Oath Keeper, became the focus of a conspiracy theory that he was an undercover government agent inciting the Capitol attack.
More than 1,200 defendants have been charged with Capitol riot-related federal crimes, with over 900 having pleaded guilty or been convicted.
