This is true, but…

FBI and CIA evasions are great fodder for late night conspiracy theory podcasts. The FBI has a policy of not confirming or denying the identity of their CIs or witnesses. Epps never entered the capitol which is likely why he wasn't charged with anything. He probably wasn't a CI, although he may have been one of the unnamed co-conspirators who gave information to the FBI after the fact about the people involved. That's probably why Sanborn initially declined to answer Cruz about Epps. When pressed though she did eventually admit she was unaware of people linked to the FBI doing anything to aggravate the situation on Jan. 6.

"Did federal agents or those in service of federal agents actively encourage violent and criminal conduct on Jan. 6th?" - Cruz

"Not to my knowledge, sir." - Sanborn
