Republicans threaten to release Jan 5 footage to clear Rep of ‘reconnaissance tour’, but it won’t be easy

House Republicans are prepping to release Capitol Police footage from Jan. 5, 2021, to defend Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who took a family with young children on a tour of the Capitol that day, as Democrats on the Jan. 6 committee ridiculously accuse him of conducting reconnaissance.

The GOP does not have the video footage taken on Jan. 5, 2021, at least not yet. To store the hundreds of hours of video, they will need to fork over $20,000 for an external hard drive capable of holding the footage.

The Jan. 6 committee asked Loudermilk last week to voluntarily speak with its interrogators, claiming they have reviewed footage of the lawmaker showing visitors around the Capitol. According to the Republican lawmaker, none of them have called to simply ask what happened that day.
