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.
Jayden X is seen on camera passing out long metal rods to different protestors encouraging them to go and break into the Capitol building.

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.
Sullivan has been in touch with attorneys in an effort to thwart what he sees as his brother Jayden X's violent, dangerous behavior.
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.
James Sullivan also spoke of Jade Sacker, the self-described CAA photojournalist who went to the January 6 protest with Jayden X.
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.
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.
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.
Leftists plotted in private messages to distribute Trump hats to fellow leftists to falsely smear Trump supporters as being violent.
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."
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.
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.'
