Speaker Johnson Releases January 6 Capitol Footage

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) released security footage from the January 6, 2021 Capitol event.

“Today, I am keeping my promise to the American people and making all the January 6th tapes available to ALL Americans,” Speaker Johnson wrote on X formerly known as Twitter.

“To restore America’s trust and faith in their Government we must have transparency. This is another step towards keeping the promises I made when I was elected to be your Speaker,” he added.

Johnson shared a link to thousands of hours of footage for January 6.

The footage release comes as former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) failed to follow through on this promise to release the content.
