McCarthy and GOP Pump Brakes on January 6 Footage

February 28, 2023 · 9:53 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Republican leaders are emphasizing that no clips will be broadcast without prior security clearance while accusing Democrats of neglecting the same precautions during the investigation by the House select committee last year — a charge the Democrats quickly rejected.”
