New Rumble Channel Established for Release of Jan. 6 Security Video by Congress

The Epoch Times Header

Nearly 40 hours of more than 40,000 hours of Capitol Police security video have been released by House Republicans since Nov. 17.

The GOP-controlled Committee on House Administrationโ€™s Subcommittee on Oversight has established a Rumble channel and released the second batch of security video from Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol.

The first few videos were posted to the Rumble channel on Dec. 5. By the next day, the collection grew to 135 clipsโ€”each about 10 minutes long. The channel had nearly 700 followers on Dec. 7.

The committee released the first batch of 90 CCTV clips on Nov. 17 on its House of Representativesย website.ย The two websites now contain nearly 40 hours of the more than 40,000 hours of video from Jan. 6 held by Capitol Police.

“As promised, we’re releasing more U.S. Capitol Police CCTV video footage from January 6th to ensure full transparency and accountability,” said U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight. “Every American may access this and future footage on our new Rumble video page.”

The new batch of videos all come from Camera 0908, housed high on the west dome of the Capitol. The aerial footage starts just after midnight and ends about 11:55 p.m. on Jan. 6.

The video includes the flow of protesters from the Ellipse during and after former President Donald Trumpโ€™s speech, the breach of the first police line, and the violence on several levels of the west front of the Capitol.

Capitol Police have a network of more than 1,700 security cameras inside the Capitol Building and across Capitol grounds. The agency has consistently opposed (pdf) public release of the CCTV footage.

When he announced the release of up to 44,000 hours of Jan. 6 video, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) pledged to regularly update the website with โ€œthousands of hours of footage.โ€

โ€œTo restore Americaโ€™s trust and faith in their government, we must have transparency,โ€ Mr. Johnson posted on X. โ€œThis is another step towards keeping the promises I made when I was elected to be your speaker.โ€
