Pelosi accused of 'rich hypocrisy' for hiding video of Jan. 6 riot

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is being accused of "Rich hypocrisy" for hiding video of the entirety of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, and claiming she has sovereign immunity that means she does not have to let the public have the facts about the events of that day.

Pelosi has refused, so far, to grant any access to the public records.

Is the federal government suppressing the Jan. 6 video because it shows there was no insurrection?

99%. 1%. Judicial Watch, because of the Freedom of Information exemption Congress gave itself, asked for access under the common law that gives the public a right of access to public records and documents.

"The Pelosi Congress is telling a federal court it is immune from all transparency under law and is trying to hide every second of its January 6 videos and countless emails," said Judicial Watch chief Tom Fitton.

"The hypocrisy is rich, as this is the same Congress which is trying to jail witnesses who, citing privileges, object to providing documents to the Pelosi January 6 committee."

"The records include a cell phone video of the shooting and an audio of a brief police interview of the shooter, Lt. Michael Byrd. In October, Judicial Watch released records, showing that multiple officers claimed they didn't see a weapon in Babbitt's hand before Byrd shot her, and that Byrd was visibly distraught afterward. One officer attested that he didn't hear any verbal commands before Byrd shot Babbitt."
