House Republican leadership Tuesday defended Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s exclusive release of tens of thousands of hours of Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot security footage to Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson, saying it was Democrats who cherry-picked and publicly released sensitive film from that day.
Democrats criticized Mr. McCarthy last week after it became known he granted access to Mr. Carlson’s producers to “44,000 hours” of surveillance footage from inside the Capitol when pro-Trump demonstrators stormed the building to protest the certification of the 2020 presidential election. The Democrats claimed it would reveal security closely guarded security measures around the Capitol.
“They actually released a lot of video that was very sensitive. I mean, they literally released video of Vice President Pence exiting the Capitol showing the route that he takes,” he said. “What Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi did was expose a lot of sensitive information, including what was an undisclosed location, where the leadership of both parties went after her daughter was videoing inside of that military base,” he said, “which wasn’t supposed to happen.”
