Newly released footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot is raising new questions about the events that transpired and the subsequent criminal charges as the U.S. Supreme Court is set to decide whether to hear the first two Jan. 6 appeals.
Starting Monday, the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee will allow any U.S. citizen to review U.S. Capitol Police video footage from Jan. 6 by scheduling an appointment to view the videos in person.
Lang's attorneys argued that the charge could be brought against anyone attending a "Public demonstration gone awry." The second case involving Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Mark Sami Ibrahim focuses on whether he has legislated immunity as a federal law enforcement official who was charged with four counts related to Jan. 6, two of which are related to how he carried his firearm on Jan. 6 in the Capitol.
House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., told "Just the News, No Noise" last week that there were "So many anomalies" that occurred that day, ranging from the fact that no suspect or suspects have been named in the pipe bombs left outside of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters buildings on Jan. 5, 2021, to the fact that no one has been identified in the building of the gallows that were present during the Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally.
The new footage also appears to support Jan. 6 defendant Victoria White, who claimed in a federal lawsuit against the Washington, D.C., police department that officers assaulted her and used excessive force when allegedly beating her in a tunnel at the entry of the Capitol on the day of the riot.
"There needs to be investigations and ACCOUNTABILITY for ALL of the lies, deceit, and lives ruined. Every member of the Jan 6th committee, Nancy Pelosi, FBI, DOJ, DC Police, Cap Police, Jan 6 witnesses who lied, all need to be subpoenaed," she wrote, referring to the Democrat-led Jan. 6 committee that dissolved when Republicans took control of the House after the 2022 midterms.
"Criminal referrals must be written and prosecutions MUST happen under a Trump DOJ." Amid Republican hopes that the release of additional videos may lead to some additional questions being answered, Florida Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson remained confident that the release of Jan. 6 footage will show the full extent of the violence that day, writing on X last week that "All these extra hours of footage will show that January 6th was an insurrection." Regardless of what happens as a result of the newly released tapes or the Supreme Court decisions, the damage is far beyond repair for multiple Jan. 6 defendants.
