In a sworn declaration, the top lawyer for the U.S. Capitol Police said they learned from media reports that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had granted exclusive access to the Jan. 6 footage to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
on air that “before airing any of this video, we checked first with the Capitol Police. We’re happy to say their reservations were minor and for the most part, they were reasonable.”after the footage aired that the department had repeatedly requested to review the clips and had not been able to.
At the Capitol on Friday, McCarthy said he had not read the police’s court filing and he instead reiterated his past claims that House GOP officials worked with the Capitol Police to determine which video clips were sensitive to security issues and should not be made public.“We asked the Capitol Police for any, any clips that would give them a problem, any area. They brought up one … so we fixed that,” he told reporters.
When the police first provided the security footage to the Committee on House Administration, they were not told that anyone outside the committee would be reviewing the footage, DiBiase said. DiBiase’s affidavit said people from Carlson’s show viewed footage while supervised by committee personnel before they were given any physical recordings. Even that is unusual, he indicated, saying that who can view footage is restricted by the police for security reasons and requests for clips are regularly denied, even in legal proceedings.DiBiase said he had “numerous conversations” with the House committee asking to review the clips.
The only clip DiBiase saw was one that had been categorized as sensitive. DiBiase said it was “substantially similar” to a clip already publicly available, so he approved it. The other approximately 40 clips that he was not shown had not been labeled as sensitive.
