The House Administration Committee released 5,000 hours of additional security footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot as part of House Speaker Mike Johnson‘s (R-LA) promise to make all surveillance videos available for public access.

Johnson said in a statement on Friday that the committee will no longer plan to blur the faces of the people in the footage “given the significant logistic hurdles involved and the importance of getting this work completed as responsibly and efficiently as possible.” Previously released footage with blurred faces will be reuploaded without the blurs.
