Turns out RINO McCarthy placed some limits on Tucker Carlson’s use of the full January 6th footage that was given to him two weeks ago. Supposably, Carlson received about 41,000 hours that Nancy Pelosi had hidden from the public.
A key Republican lawmaker says Fox News host Tucker Carlson does not have unrestricted use of January 6 U.S. Capitol surveillance footage.
“It’s basically controlled access to be able to view tapes. Can’t record, can’t take anything with you,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), who chairs the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, said in response to a question from The Hill.
Carlson’s team “may request any particular clips they may need, then we’ll make sure there’s nothing sensitive, nothing classified, including escape routes,” Loudermilk told CBS News. “We don’t want al Qaeda to know certain things.”
Axios first reported last week that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) shared with Carlson 41,000 hours of surveillance footage from January 6, 2021, the day a crowd of people entered the U.S. Capitol, disrupting lawmakers who were meeting to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. A Fox News spokesperson told The Daily Wire that the report from Axios was accurate.
