House Republicans released 5,000 hours more of security footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol on Friday, but Speaker Mike Johnson announced — in a reversal — that the House Administration Committee will no longer blur the faces of individuals in the footage.
“Additionally, upon extensive further consultation with the Committee, and at my direction, the Committee will no longer plan to blur the faces of individuals in the footage given the significant logistic hurdles involved and the importance of getting this work completed as responsibly and efficiently as possible,” Johnson said in a statement.
House Administration Committee Chairman Barry Loudermilk said in a statement that the decision will “significantly expedite CCTV footage releases, all of which will be made available to the American public within the next few months, without blurring or editing.”
“The first batch is already available on our Rumble page,” Loudermilk said.
