Leftist infiltrator John Sullivan, known as “Jayden X,” was part of a coordinated operation which included Ray Epps to create chaos at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2020, Jayden X’s brother James Sullivan told NATIONAL FILE in an exclusive interview.
Jayden X’s brother told NATIONAL FILE that Jayden X helped plan the January 6 chaos on “Antifa Discord servers,” that Jayden X previously worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to target his enemies, and that Jayden X was a member of Antifa groups that started riots elsewhere during social justice protests.
WHY IT MATTERS
The Biden Department of Justice is working to convict Trump-backing protestors who were ensnared by what has been shown to be a federally involved Reichstag-style pretext to grab power in D.C. and nationally.
Jayden X helped plan the January 6 “insurrection” on “Antifa Discord servers,” according to his brother.
Jayden X met up with controversial figure and suspected agent provocateur Ray Epps prior to the action at the Capitol, according to Jayden X’s brother.
Leftists plotted in private messages to distribute Trump hats to fellow leftists to falsely smear Trump supporters as being violent.
Ray Epps ‘Showed [Sullivan] the ropes’ on how to entrap Trump-backing patriots.
James Sullivan claims that his brother John Sullivan pushed Ashli Babbitt through the window, setting the stage for her demise at the hands of officer Byrd.
The Creative Artists Agency, a well-known Deep State cut-out, was involved with both Sullivan brothers by way of ‘photojournalist’ Jade Sacker.

In a wide-ranging article with NATIONAL FILE’s Alicia Powe, Jayden X’s brother John Sullivan lifted the veil on the family strife between the far-left Jayden X and himself. Their family schism ended up the subject of a CAA-backed documentary, which debuted earlier this year.
According to the conservative Sullivan, leftists plotted in private messages on burner phones and on Discord to distribute Trump hats to fellow leftists to falsely smear Trump supporters as being violent, even leading to the eventual death of Ashli Babbitt.
Jayden X also met up with controversial figure and suspected agent provocateur Ray Epps prior to the action at the Capitol, according to Jayden X’s brother.
“I know that John pushed her (Ashli Babbitt) through, into the window when they got into the Capitol and I know that he had pushed her up to the front,” James Sullivan told NATIONAL FILE, referring to his brother “John,” aka “Jayden X.” Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer during the January 6 melee.
“He had corresponded with CNN and MSNBC and a couple of other news organizations showing them the Discord servers that he was a part of that were basically. I know that people say they don’t exist, but Antifa Discord servers where they were planning January 6,” James Sullivan said, referring to his brother.
“John was also part of the Discord servers in Kenosha and in Minneapolis where Antifa would go in and they would basically take advantage of the emotional state of, you know, Black Lives Matter and then ignite a riot. And their goal, ultimate goal, is to show that the Republic that we’re living under was not enough to keep peace and we need socialism. So their goal is to show that our Republic is weak. And John had done that all summer long and then when he did it at January 6 at the Capitol, no one bats an eye!…It was all planned. The entire thing was planned,” James Sullivan told NATIONAL FILE.
Sullivan has been in touch with attorneys in an effort to thwart what he sees as his brother Jayden X’s violent, dangerous behavior.
“A lot of people don’t know but Michael Sanchez, who was a member of Antifa from Portland, was arrested at the Capitol…we have literal evidence that it was pre-orchestrated,” James Sullivan said.
“So, from what I know is that Ray Epps and my brother John had met up prior to going to the Freedom Plaza. And they were at, if you look at the video of Ray Epps…you see John right next to him,” James Sullivan said.
Jayden X, who has so far dodged all criminal prosecutions related to his involvement with J6, has now managed to snag himself a job as a foreign war correspondent.
“John goes back and forth from the U.S. to the Ukraine…So the reason Black Lives Matter Utah got crippled, is because of John. When they basically outcasted him, he worked with the FBI to get a lot of their leaders arrested and charged. But he did that out of spite and because they kicked him out of the movement,” James Sullivan said, confirming that his brother worked with the Feds.
James Sullivan also spoke of Jade Sacker, the self-described CAA photojournalist who went to the January 6 protest with Jayden X.
“When J6 happened, Jade went with John to Kenosha, to Minneapolis, to Portland, like all over the country. And when she went to J6 with him, all he was telling her is that “this is going to happen, this is going to happen, this is going to happen. Something big is gonna happen in the Capitol. Something big’s gonna happen at the Capitol.” And then Jade…John had an Adderall addiction, so Jade actually gave him a little bit of alcohol, and on camera the reason she didn’t get arrested is she has him on-camera saying that, showing her the Discord servers, the private chats that he has, the burner phone text messages of where they’re going to distribute, like, Trump hats and stuff to the different members of…she has it all on camera,” James Sullivan said.
Clearly, the mainstream media is not telling the American people the truth about the real events of January 6. Citizens and independent journalists must keep up the pressure to get the real truth out to the world.

DIG DEEPER
John Sullivan, the militant Antifa leader known as Jayden X, coordinated with Ray Epps in an operation to create chaos at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, Jayden X’s brother James Sullivan cautioned in an exclusive interview with National File.
“We have him on video — literally saying, ‘I have a knife! I have a knife!’ There [are] other videos of him passing out like long metal rods to different J6ers, telling them, ‘Just go up there and do that,’ ‘Go up there and do this.’
Asked whether Air Force veteran Ashi Babbitt’s death was part of an orchestrated plan, James began urgently divulging information describing how his brother John’s militant radical socialist ideology led him to coordinating a terror attack during the January 6 certification of the electoral vote.
“I know that John pushed her [Ashli Babbitt] through into the window when they got into the Capitol and I know that he had pushed her up to the front,” James Sullivan told this reporter.
“[Jayden X] was quoted by Sky News and a couple other media outlets to get sensational footage on January 6,” James Sullivan said.
Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed by Lt. Michael Byrd, a Capitol police officer, during the January 6 melee. So far, Byrd has faced no disciplinary action for the murder, was subsequently provided special housing by the government and was reportedly promoted to Captain after shooting Babbitt dead in broad day light.
Jayden X was paid approximately $90,000 by at least three media outlets for footage of Babbitt’s death, according to reports. CNN paid the Insurgence USA leader $35,000 for “eyewitness footage of the shooting at Capitol Hill on 01/06/21.”
It remains on unclear whether CNN made the payment to Sullivan before or after the shooting transpired.

Criminal charges against CNN for its role in the Capitol riot have been suppressed by the Biden administration. A copy of the check and Sullivan’s bank statement showing the date and time of the deposit has also been sealed.
Jayden X helped plan the January 6 “insurrection” on “Antifa Discord servers,” James Sullivan explained.
“[John] had corresponded with CNN, and MSN, MSNBC, and a couple other news organizations showing them the discord servers that he was a part of that were basically — I know that people say they don’t exist — but Antifa Discord servers were there planning January 6,” he said, detailing his brother’s elaborate January 6 scheme.
Jade Sacker, a journalist that was contracted by CAA to make documentary about Jayden X, traveled with the Insurgence USA founder around the country throughout 2020 and during the Capitol riot.
Jayden X met up with controversial figure and suspected agent provocateur Ray Epps prior to the action at the Capitol, according to Jayden X’s brother.
“So, from what I know is that Ray Epps and my brother John had met up prior to going to the Freedom Plaza. And they were at, if you look at the video of Ray Epps…you see John right next to him,” James Sullivan said.
Prior to January, Sacker allegedly began secretly recording Sullivan as he coordinated a “’Terriotest’ group plan to storm the Capitol,” a plan to entrap conservatives of which Ray Epps would “show him the ropes,” James Sullivan explained:
The thing with Ray Epps is, Jade said that she didn’t really know who he was until after the fact, that she thought it was weird that John was talking to an old man. She didn’t know, she kept asking, ‘Who is this guy? Who is this guy?’ But they met before, the night before January 6. They met in front of the Hamilton hotel.
“We not only had the footage from Jade, but there’s also CCTV footage that she was able to get ahold of, or just ask for, and they gave it to [her]. They wanted to be part of — they consented to be part of the of the [documentary].
Jayden X ‘had met with him about an hour before everyone was in Freedom Plaza, you know, rallying and stuff and getting amped for the next day. And when Ray Epps was in the plaza, saying that, ‘we should go storm the Capitol, you know, just sounding absolutely autistic …John is right next to him. He’s following him around.”
From what Jade told me, Ray said that he would “show John the ropes and what needed to be done.” And then after that, you just had him on camera, like walking with Ray from Hamilton to freedom Plaza. And yeah, so like, it’s, it’s all connected. It’s not really a conspiracy. It’s more of like, conservatives as conservatives, we work we work together, right? We work together, we collaborate, we get things done. The left does the same thing. For people to say that that doesn’t happen is just it’s ignorant.”
Leftists plotted in private messages to distribute Trump hats to fellow leftists to falsely smear Trump supporters as being violent.
“He was also passing out Trump hats. There’s video of him passing on Trump hats to, to different Antifa members showing up at West side of the Capitol, thirty minutes before the Trump supporters even got there.”
James Sullivan admitted that he is working with a government task force to put his brother behind bars because he to stop him from “hurting more people” and because he is a “psychopath.”
Jayden X’s trial is slated for the Fall and “I’ll be a part of it,” he said. “We have footage of him being on the Zoom calls just from Jade’s footage — he trusted her a lot. She has footage of him being on the Zoom calls a week prior to January 6 where they discussed the opportunities that he could have taken on December 12, the first time — that, you know, the Patriots went to the Capitol.
“They were basically saying, ‘this is where they went, Freedom Plaza,’ ‘This is where we could ignite anarchy,’ ‘This is where we could get them to slip up,’ ‘We need to have our camera people here and here.’ On January 6, they had 16 cameramen that were on all sides of the Capitol that were solely there just to catch patriots — slip up.
To get any type of dialogue. John had one [camera] on him and then he also had Jade Sacker recording him and she got him pushing Ashley Babbitt to the front of the crowd, and he was directly behind her.
She has him passing out metal poles that have this special silver ball that’s made for, like, breaking windows, passing [them] off to people so they could break windows to get into different offices. And she has him basically laughing at Ashli – she has the footage of Ashli Babbitt dying, but she has the footage of him laughing at her dying on camera. So, it’s sickening! You can watch it.”
James warns Jayden X, founder of Insurgence USA, worked as an informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation prior to January 6 in an effort to target his enemies.
Insurgence USA, a social justice group he founded that calls itself anti-fascist and protests police brutality.
Jayden X was part of Antifa groups that started riots elsewhere during social justice protests, James explained.
“John was also part of discord servers in Kenosha and in Minneapolis, where Antifa would go in and they would basically take advantage of the emotional state of Black Lives Matter and then ignite a riot,” he said. “And their ultimate goal, ultimate goal, was to show that the republic that we’re living under was not enough to keep peace and we needed socialism.
“So, their goal is to show that our republic is weak. John had done that all summer long. And then we did he did it on January 6 at the Capitol, no one bats an eye.”
J6 defendants, particularly those who had national prominence or positions of leadership prior to the Capitol riot have been terrorized by the FBI, face lengthy prison sentences, have been tortured in pretrial detention and may be given longer sentences for speaking out or fundraising to pay for their exorbitant legal fees.
The leaders of the Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Ethan Nordean were found guilty of “seditious conspiracy” by an Antifa-supporting jury on May 4.
Each of the defendants are facing the stiffest prison sentences of any J6 defendant to date. Tarrio was not in Washington D.C., during the Capitol riot while Biggs, Nordean and Rehl committed no violent crimes on January 6, walked through the Capitol building for approximately 20 minutes, took pictures and left.
The only plan January 6 plan disseminated amongst the Proud Boys leading up to January 6 was “The 1776 Returns” document, which was created by the FBI and distributed to the group’s members nationwide.
The prosecution is seeking 33 years in prison for Tarrio and Biggs, 30 years for Rehl and 27 years for Nordean.
Sullivan was arrested by the FBI hours after this reporter obtained footage from Sullivan’s discord server which revealed he disguised himself as a Trump supporter while breaking multiple federal laws.
In stark contrast to how the laws are being applied to the Proud Boys, Jayden X spent just one night in prison.
As this reported confirmed in June, not only is Jayden X not in jail, but he is currently working as a war correspondent in the Ukraine for the Ukrainian government.
On January 6, Sullivan helped a trespasser scale a wall leading up to an entrance of the Capitol, an affidavit alleges. He then entered the Capitol through a window that had been smashed by one of the more violent agitators.
Sullivan, “according to his own video footage, apparently exhorted others to ‘burn this shit down,’ ‘break that shit,’ and — amid the smashing of the speaker’s lobby doors — ‘Go! Go! Get this shit’ He celebrated the breach of the Capitol as ‘revolutionary history.’ He boasted of how ‘it’s only a little jail time … I do this all the time,’ assistant U.S. attorney Candice Wong wrote in court documents.
Sullivan now faces a total of eight criminal counts, including weapons charges, related to the riot.
The Department of Justice has yet to provide comment about who authorized Jayden X to leave the country.
Sullivan maintains that he is a journalist for his website Insurgence USA — and his defense attorney filed invoices for the $35,000 that NBC News and CNN each apparently paid for rights to use the videos.
Sullivan had previously faced a total of eight criminal counts, including weapons charges, related to the riot.
A Utah man who faces federal criminal charges for his alleged actions during the U.S. Capitol riot sold video of the incursion to major news outlets for thousands of dollars.
CNN and NBC each paid John Sullivan $35,000 for footage he captured outside and inside the building on Jan. 6, including the deadly shooting of protester Ashli Babbitt by a U.S. Capitol Police officer, according to a recent filing in U.S. District Court in Washington.
The nonexclusive agreement with CNN was specifically for “eyewitness video of the shooting at Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, for use from Jan. 6 to Jan. 13.
In addition, Australian Broadcasting Corp. paid Sullivan $2,375 for his video.
The court filing also includes the copy of an unsigned agreement with Left/Right LLC, a New York-based production company, for $5,000 to use footage of the siege at the Capitol in a program tentatively titled, “The Circus: The Greatest Political Show on Earth.”
But the feds allege in a criminal complaint that Sullivan was actively participating in and encouraging the siege.
As throngs of President Donald Trump supporters stormed the building, Sullivan helped one of the trespassers scale a wall leading up to an entrance of the Capitol, an affidavit alleges.
As he recorded footage inside the building, Sullivan allegedly said, “we gotta get this s—t burned.”
“It’s our house, motherf—kers. We are getting this s–t,” he added.
Prosecutors contend Sullivan was not a bystander but a “brazen, vocal” participant in the riot.
“The defendant, according to his own video footage, apparently exhorted others to ‘burn this (expletive) down,’ ‘break that (expletive),’ and — amid the smashing of the speaker’s lobby doors — ‘Go! Go! Get this (expletive)!’ He celebrated the breach of the Capitol as ‘revolutionary history.’ He boasted of how ‘it’s only a little jail time … I do this all the time,’ assistant U.S. attorney Candice Wong wrote in court documents.
Still recording, Sullivan moved with the crowd to outside the Speaker’s Lobby, where agitators faced off with police officers who were securing a doorway.
He then captured an officer fatally shoot Ashli Babbitt as she attempted to climb through a broken window that was being guarded by the officers — footage he sold to several news networks.
Sullivan was arrested soon after the riot and indicted by a grand jury last week on six charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding, civil disorder and disorderly conduct. This reporter discord server.
“We have him on video — literally saying, ‘I have a knife! I have a knife!’ There [are] other videos of him passing out like long metal rods to different J6ers, telling them, ‘Just go up there and do that,’ ‘Go up there and do this.’
