House GOP preparing to launch new Jan. 6 probes
House Republicans initiated a series of investigations into the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made previously unseen video security footage from inside theHouse Republicans are interested in reviewing the security failures from that day, how the Democratic-led select committee conducted itself in the last Congress and the treatment of Jan. 6 defendants.
New footage of that day broadcast by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson this week showed other camera angles that the Jan. 6 select committee never released. The new film showed many people entering the Capitol through open doors and behaving peacefully. “We begged and pleaded to get this man out of solitary confinement. … Through each of those three hearings, the government assistant U.S. attorney knew the most important aspect of that hearing was that Jake was not violent,” Mr. Watkins told Mr. Carlson on Wednesday night. “They knew that Jake had walked around with all of these police officers. They had that video footage I didn’t get. It wasn’t disclosed to me. It wasn’t provided to me. I requested it. I filed the requisite pleading for it.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, Kentucky Republican, said his members were also concerned about the actions of the Jan. 6 committee and Ms. Greene is taking the lead on the treatment of Jan. 6 defendants who are still in jail. This includes leading a group of GOP lawmakers to the District of Columbia jails and sending a letter announcing the trip this week.
