The former president claimed that the newly revealed material “absolutely embarrassed” the Democratic-led panel.…

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) denied using misleading editing techniques while leading the House Select Committee on January 6. Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson presented previously unreleased footage of the January 6, 2021 riot on Capitol Hill on Monday, which appeared to offer a different picture from the one described by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
