On Tuesday, a nonprofit government watchdog lodged a complaint with the House of Representatives about Kevin McCarthy's choice to share numerous hours of Capitol attack footage with Fox News' Tucker Carlson.
“We request an investigation into the recent exclusive release by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to a single news outlet of confidential records obtained by the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol,”The letter was signed by Craig Holman and Lisa Gilbert, who serve as government affairs lobbyist and vice president of Public Citizen, respectively.
“It’s hard to overstate the potential security risks if this material were to be used irresponsibly,” Rep. Bennie Thompson , former chair of the January 6 committee,Public Citizen echoed those concerns in a tweet announcing its decision to file a complaint to the House ethics office. “Sharing Jan 6 footage exclusively to Tucker Carlson and his MAGA cronies just put everyone’s safety at risk in the Capitol,”We’re proud to publish real news 365 days of the year, completely free of charge to our readers.
