House Republicans intend to release 14,000 hours of January 6 tapes that have been hidden from the public, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) revealed on Tuesday.
During an interview with Turning Point USA (TPUSA) president Charlie Kirk on his radio show, Gaetz said that releasing the tapes “would give more full context to that day rather than the cherry-picked moments of the January 6th committee.”
The Capitol building is monitored round-the-clock by an “extensive system of cameras” positioned both inside and outside the building as well as near other congressional offices on the grounds. The tapes could shed light on what happened inside and outside the west terrace tunnel, where the most violent clashes between police and protesters on January 6 occurred, and where Rosanne Boyland, a 34-year-old Trump supporter from Georgia, lost her life.
“On January 6, D.C. Metro and Capitol police assaulted nonviolent protesters with explosive devices, rubber bullets, tear gas, and in some cases, their own fists and batons,” American Greatness reporter Julie Kelly reported in November of 2021. “A tunnel on the lower west side of the Capitol building became a dangerous—and, likely for at least one protester, deadly—battle scene as police viciously attacked American citizens on the ‘hallowed’ grounds of the U.S. Congress.”
Thousands of hours of J6 tapes that could expose law enforcement abuses have been under protective orders, while certain “cherry-picked” clips have been allowed in court as evidence against hundreds of January 6 defendants.
The Florida Republican suggested that he secured this concession from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy last week during the House Speaker showdown.
“Kevin McCarthy told us he is going to get the evidence out in front of the American people and that means releasing the 14,000 hours of tapes that have been hidden that I think would give more full context to that day rather than the cherry-picked moments the January 6th committee tried to use to inflame and further divide out country,” Gaetz said.
“So yes, I do believe that part of this deal is a concession that we are going to get the truth out in front of the American people,” he added.

How? And to who?
This is about to get interesting. Hope Trump puts a team on it to expose the lies.
Don’t tell me what you “intend” to do. Do it, or don’t.
Yes—give the people the WHOLE truth.
But will the ene-media cover it?
It can go out on Twitter now!
Rubber bullets? Explosive devices? This is the first time I've seen this.
Kind of embarrassing to say.
When is the release & why hasn’t it been done yet?
You know the two best sellers. Hope and fear.
The article was published on AmmoLand.
I don’t think they will release a thing. RATs and RINOs had ample time to arrange the cover-up with that bitch who runs the Archives - the same one who started the Mar-a-Lago trouble. Unlike the GOP the Left is quite adept at protecting their interests.
Has Gaetz even seen it?
I feel there should be a BOOM in the title somewhere
Lol.. right...
Needs to be cataloged in a dB and made available to the general public.
Who the Hell would want to listen to 14,000 hours of FRAUD??
Where’s Tuco when you need him? Free beer tomorrow.
I never understood why so many Republicans were pissed off at Gaetz. It was just four days and he got everything he and the other opponents of McCarthy wanted. Those same concessions were what almost all the Republican Representatives wanted, too.
Four days to get all that was nothing.
Hannity was so pissed off at them, it was unbelievable. Ironically, Gaetz and the others got exactly what Hannity has been wanting for at least the last 10+ years.
The lawyers for the political prisoners in D.C. will want to see the videos related to their clients.
