- McCarthy told the outlet his intentions during his first exclusive interview since Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired unseen security footage from the Capitol riot.
- In some of the 44,000 hours of tape, Carlson produced segments showcasing an opposing narrative from legacy media outlets and the now-dissolved House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.
- Carlson and his team received exclusive access to more than 40,000 hours of security camera footage as part of a deal made with McCarthy, who said he opted for the disclosure for the sake of transparency and to counter the “politicization” he believes had been fostered by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the January 6th Committee.
