Trump Praises Johnson for Having the ‘Courage and Fortitude’ to Release the Full January 6 Tapes
Former President Donald Trump praised Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday after Republicans began releasing the full security footage from January 6.
The Committee on House Administration shared the footage.
Approximately 90 hours of the 44,000 hours of footage had been released on Friday, but the full trove is expected to be uploaded by Monday.
“Today, we will begin immediately posting video on a public website and move as quickly as possible to add to the website nearly all of the footage, more than 40,000 hours,” Johnson said in a statement.
“This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials,” Johnson said.
