- Chair of the January 6 Committee Bennie Thompson says that neither he nor members of the Committee, including Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, never personally viewed the 40,000 of surveillance footage taken from the Capitol on that fateful day in 2021.
- CNN political reporter Alayna Treene posted this revelation to Twitter by way of describing the process for lawmakers with the 118th Congress to view the material.
- Treene said that Bennie Thompson “said lawmakers were never given that type of access to the footage last Congress. ‘It’s strictly a new policy that the new speaker has put in place,’ he told CNN.”
