Citing the urgency of the cause, House Speaker Mike Johnson reverses the decision to blur 5,000 hours of security footage regarding the January 6 demonstration.
In a statement, Johnson expressed, “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.”
Furthermore, the House Speaker commended House Administration Committee Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) for his commitment ensuring to the delivery of the truth surrounding the events of January 6.
“This ongoing work is especially necessary considering the deeply flawed prior investigation conducted by the partisan January 6 select committee, which instead of delivering transparency, has contributed to defendants, public interest groups, and the media having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials,” said Johnson.
