<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-twitter-files-twitter-and-the-fbi-belly-button" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Twitter Files&#8221;</a> serve as a model for how U.S. Capitol security footage from January 6, 2021, could be released to the public, House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-mccarthy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin McCarthy</a> (R-CA) said on Sunday.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTi8l3UQK6g&amp;t=93s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McCarthy told Maria Bartiromo</a>, host of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jim-jordan-gives-update-on-fbi-whistleblowers-teases-public-hearings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,”</a> he is looking to release the tapes because of the &#8220;politicization&#8221; he believes has been fostered by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/january-6-panel-alerts-white-house-about-anonymous-witnesses" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January 6 Committee</a>.</p>
<p>The speaker referred to how Twitter, under the leadership of CEO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk,</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave access to troves of internal communications</a> to a group of independent journalists who have been sharing details via &#8220;Twitter Files&#8221; threads.</p>
<p>&#8220;The best way to handle this is exactly the way Elon Musk [did]: Just put all the information out there and let people see what is truth and what is not,&#8221; McCarthy said. &#8220;So, the best way to do that is to release the tapes. People can know for themselves instead of picking and choosing what views they want people to see.&#8221;</p>

<p>Capitol Police say the system of cameras captured more than <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/29/capitol-police-jan6-footage-478439" target="_blank" rel="noopener">14,000 hours of footage</a> between noon and 8 p.m. on the day a crowd of people entered the U.S. Capitol, disrupting lawmakers meeting to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.</p>
<p>One particular member of the House Republican conference, Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/matt-gaetz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Gaetz</a> (R-FL), has hit the airwaves insisting this footage &#8220;would give more full context to that day rather than the cherry-picked moments the January 6 Committee tried to use to inflame and further divide our country.&#8221;</p>
<p>In an interview with CNN, Gaetz said the footage could provide exculpatory evidence to January 6 defendants. He also dismissed concerns about how disclosing the tapes could jeopardize security. &#8220;I think that it&#8217;s an argument made by the Department of Justice because they don&#8217;t want to expose the extent to which there might have been federal assets or agents enhancing criminal acuity,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>McCarthy told reporters last week he wants to be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kevin-mccarthy-says-hes-engaged-to-release-january-6-security-footage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;very thoughtful&#8221;</a> about releasing Capitol security footage but stressed that he is &#8220;engaged to do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>The speaker told Bartiromo on Sunday that he had not yet seen the videos.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just think they should be released,&#8221; he added.</p>
