Fox News host Tucker Carlson says he and his team have gained access to about 44,000 hours of security camera footage taken during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
WASHINGTON — Conservative Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Monday that he and his team have gained access to about 44,000 hours of security camera video taken during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
NBC News has not independently verified the report. McCarthy’s office did not respond to repeated requests for comment. "It’s hard to overstate the potential security risks if this material were to be used irresponsibly," Thompson said."If Speaker McCarthy has indeed granted Tucker Carlson — a Fox host who routinely spreads misinformation and Putin’s poisonous propaganda — and his producers access to this sensitive footage, he owes the American people an explanation of why he has done so and what steps he has taken to address the significant security concerns at stake.
