"Mike Johnson's Unprecedented Release: 44,000 Hours of January 6 Footage Goes Public"

House speaker Mike Johnson has announced plans to publicly release 44,000 hours of footage from the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. The first tranche of security footage, around 90 hours, will be released on a public committee website, with the rest expected to be posted over the next several months. Johnson's decision fulfills a promise he made to far-right members of his party and grants the general public unprecedented access to the sensitive and explicit footage. The move has been applauded by former President Donald Trump and Representative Matt Gaetz, but critics have raised concerns about the potential safety risks. Johnson stated that faces will be blurred and sensitive security information will be withheld from public release.
