'The speaker is needlessly exposing the Capitol complex to one of the worst security risks since 9/11,' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says.
WASHINGTON, DC, USA – US Congress Democrats accused House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy of endangering Capitol Police officers and potentially exposing security secrets if he releases thousands of hours of video footage from the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson.
TV host Carlson said on a Monday broadcast that McCarthy had given him and his producers the tapes that Schumer said contain “a treasure trove of closely held information” on security in the Capitol complex as well as highly guarded plans for the continuity of government in the event of an attack.Carlson has been a critic of the House investigation into Jan. 6 and has falsely accused the government of orchestrating the attack.
“When the Select Committee obtained access to US Capitol Police video footage, it was treated with great sensitivity given concerns about the security of lawmakers, staff, and the Capitol complex,” Thompson said in a statement on Wednesday, noting that access was limited to lawmakers and “a small handful” of investigators and senior staff.
