Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy provided 44,000 hours of video footage from January 6, 2021 to Tucker Carlson without consulting the Chief of the U.S. Capitol Police or his colleagues in Congress.

Handing over a massive trove of sensitive government material to a politically-friendly media outlet is unprecedented. Some of the footage could expose security vulnerabilities and increase the risk for future attacks on the Capitol complex, especially if released selectively or deceptively.

McCarthy must retrieve the 44,000 hours of January 6 footage from Tucker Carlson or promptly make the same footage available to the public.
