Speaker Johnson to make all Jan. 6 tapes available to public ‘immediately’

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will make all surveillance footage of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot available for the public to access online starting “immediately,” the House leader announced Friday.

The tapes will be posted on a public website and contain more than 44,000 hours of security footage taken during the Jan. 6 riot, barring any video that contains sensitive security information or “information that would lead to retaliation of private citizens,” according to the speaker’s office. The website launched Friday with its first tranche of footage, and the House Administration Committee will continue posting additional videos over the next several months.
