McCarthy hands massive trove of Jan. 6 surveillance video to Tucker Carlson: report

Raw Story  

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has turned over 41,000 hours of surveillance footage from the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol to Fox News primetime commentator Tucker Carlson, reported Axios on Monday. "Now his shows — 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' on Fox News, and 'Tucker Carlson Today' and 'Tucker Carlson Originals' on the streaming service Fox Nation — have a massive trove of raw material." Carlson has long downplayed the attack on the Capitol and the mob's assaults on police officers and threats against members of Congress, describing the event as merely "vandalism" and claiming January 6 defendants were being treated worse than murderers ahead of trial. All of this comes amid a trove of new revelations from the defamation suit against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems, revealing that Carlson in particular was fully aware that the "election fraud" lies that motivated January 6 rioters to the Capitol in the first place were baseless.
