Investigate Speaker McCarthy’s Leak of January 6 Footage

Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's handed more than 40,000 hours of security video from the January 6 Capitol attack to far-right Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Predictably, Carlson is now using the footage to continue trying to persuade Fox viewers that the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol was a peaceful event.

Now, watchdog organizations like Public Citizen are calling on the Office of Congressional Ethics to conduct an investigation into Speaker McCarthy's leak of the footage.

Sign the petition: Investigate Speaker McCarthy’s leak of January 6 footage to Tucker Carlson.

"The speaker's release of security footage exclusively to Tucker Carlson is pure and simple using congressional resources for partisan gamesmanship," Public Citizen wrote in a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics.

"We ask that the Office of Congressional Ethics investigate whether the selective release of the Jan. 6 security footage on an exclusive basis by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy constitutes a violation of congressional rules, the letter concludes.
