The Fox News team aired new footage on Monday of Chansley’s time at Capitol.

Chansley was famously seen leading rioters through the compound to the Senate chamber. Capitol Police officers are shown escorting Chansley to various entrances within the building. Sometimes, Chansley is even escorted by Capitol Police officers to multiple entrances throughout the building.

“They helped him. They acted as his tour guides,” Carlson was granted access by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to the footage. “We counted at least nine officers who were within touching distance of unarmed Jacob Chansley. Not one of them tried to slow him down.”
