Capitol video footage puts House Jan. 6 committee in a new light, some Senate Republicans balk -
The reams of security footage, which were kept under wraps until House Speaker Kevin McCarthy released it to a news outlet, also contradicted some of the narratives promoted last year by Democrat-run House Jan. 6 committee about what went on inside the Capitol.
Mr. Chansley was seen entering the capitol with a group through a Senate doorway with a bullhorn and being escorted by nine different Capitol Police officers into the Senate chamber. Sen. James Lankford, Oklahoma Republican, said there were “a lot of sides of that day. That’s the hard part. There’s not going to be a single camera [angle] on that day.”
Other Republican lawmakers were not impressed by the release of the footage. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, condemned Mr. Carlson for how he aired the video, saying he had the same opinion of it as the Capitol Police chief.
