GOP's Jan. 6 video release falls short, causing headaches

Less than 0.4% of the 44,000 hours of Capitol security video from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot has been uploaded by House Republicans, one month after the announcement. The task of posting the footage is complex and has no set deadline. House Democrats criticize the initiative, claiming it is politically motivated and could endanger Capitol Police and the Capitol complex. The project faces logistical challenges due to the vast quantity of video and the intricate security configurations. Two major batches of video have been posted, but they are viewable but not downloadable. The decision to blur faces further delays the uploading process. Democrats warn that the footage could be misused to support false claims and conspiracy theories.
