.SpeakerMcCarthy is preparing to turn over 41,000 hours of footage filmed at the Capitol on Jan. 6 to TuckerCarlson and his crew. SenSchumer is this could constitute one of the 'worst security risks since 9/11.'
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy's decision to hand over security footage from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to Fox News host Tucker Carlson creates"grave security risks" to the Capitol complex.
Schumer wrote in a"Dear Colleague" letter Wednesday that the public knowledge of the placement of security cameras could constitute one of the"worst security risks since 9/11" and objected to Carlson's involvement. McCarthy said the new GOP House majority would ensure a transparent investigation of the events of Jan. 6, especially by reviewing the evidence still in the Jan. 6 select committee's cache.
McCarthy gave 41,000 hours of surveillance footage to Carlson’s crew, including camera access from several angles on the Capitol grounds during the riot. He previously said the public deserved to see what happened during the riot rather than relying on the Jan. 6 committee's report, which mainly focused on former President Donald Trump's culpability."There was never any legitimate reason for this footage to remain secret,” Carlson said.
