In what amounts to a ransom demand, Washington, D.C., has set a price of over $1.5 million to release body camera videos from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot to a legal watchdog group.

Judicial Watch today told Secrets that the District lawyers said that there are over 1,756 Metropolitan Police Department videos covering 1,047 hours and that it wants $25 per minute to edit and produce the videos from body cameras worn by the city police during the daylong riot.
