2:55 PM – Friday, November 17, 2023
Newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is set to release a trove of captivating footage from the January 6th protest to the public.
Johnson (R-La.) made the exciting announcement on Friday, revealing that there will be over 40,000 hours of captivating Capitol security footage from January 6th.
“This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to witness firsthand what transpired that day, rather than relying solely on the interpretation of a select group of government officials,” Johnson enthusiastically stated while unveiling the website where the videos will be posted throughout the weekend.
The new House Speaker assured that the identities of private citizens will be protected through blurring techniques in any unreleased tapes, and around 5% of the footage will be omitted due to security concerns.
Moreover, nearly 90 hours of the 40,000-hour footage were leaked online on Friday, building anticipation for the full release expected on Monday.
Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who oversees the footage, confirmed that the film will be accessible for viewing on the Committee on House Administration’s website.
This move to release the footage comes in response to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) facing significant backlash for not promptly making the January 6th footage available to the public, instead offering it exclusively to then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
