Ray Epps Sr. was so concerned about major violence or terrorism in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, that he showed his son and a friend how to use a tourniquet in case of a bomb explosion or other disaster, according to FBI records obtained by The Epoch Times.

During an interview with two FBI agents in Utah, Eppsโ€™s sonโ€”James Ray Epps Jr., 38โ€”said the sobering talk from his father came as the trio was preparing to head to the Ellipse to hear President Donald Trump speak on Jan. 6, 2021.

โ€œโ€˜Thereโ€™s gonna be a lot of people there. And thereโ€™s going to be people that want to hurt people,โ€™โ€ Epps Jr. quoted his father saying. โ€œโ€˜If thereโ€™s people that want to hurt people, thereโ€™s going to be people that get hurt.

โ€œโ€˜If thereโ€™s something that happens, you guys need to know that you need to help each other,โ€™ and he grabs the gauze and heโ€™s, you know, heโ€™s a military man, and he pulled out the tourniquets and says, โ€˜I want to show you guys how to use this if something happens, you got to help other people.โ€™โ€

Epps Jr. recounted that conversation in a 40-minute FBI interview on April 13, 2021, according to an audio recording of the meeting obtained by The Epoch Times.

The recording is part of a collection of Epps-related material obtained by the newspaper, including FBI interview summaries, FBI audio recordings, transcripts, videos, and photographs.

Epps Sr., 61, has been at the center of a storm of controversy and speculation since June 2021, when Revolver News profiled him as a provocateur who encouraged people to go into the Capitol.

He was never arrested or charged.

His photo was originally No. 16 on the FBI Jan. 6, 2021, most-wanted page but was later scrubbed from the site without explanation.

Records obtained by The Epoch Times show that Epps Sr. believed there would be a bomb attack on a side street of Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, which prompted him to bring a first-aid kit when he traveled to the city from Arizona.
