Release of J6 Video Confirmed (skeptical. we'll see)

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida confirmed a report that newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson is fast-tracking the release of the security footage from the Jan. 6 rioting at the U.S. Capitol.

"I can confirm that this is true and something is in the works," said Luna on social media Friday.

"We're going to be releasing more and making it more available to the public," she added in a second post.

Luna was referring to a statement from Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker, who said he was working with the speaker's office for the release.

Baker said it was up to Johnson whether he would release all of the 40,000 hours of footage or part of it.

Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson said in a statement that he could not confirm a report from activist Ryan Fournier claiming all of the footage would be released to Blaze News.

"It is certainly true that we have been putting pressure on House Republicans to give us access and approval. As I said last week, it's time for the House Republicans to keep their promise," said Peterson.

Blaze News has already succeeded in obtaining previously unreleased frames from USCP CCTV video footage through the efforts of Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), chairman of the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight.
