Schumer Blasts McCarthy For Giving Fox J6 Footage

Axios reports:

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy posed “grave security risks” to lawmakers and their staff by giving access to Jan. 6 footage to Fox News.

Schumer said McCarthy’s decision was a mistake that could lead Fox News host Tucker Carson to air footage exposing highly guarded contingency plans to millions of people. “The speaker is needlessly exposing the Capitol complex to one of the worst security risks since 9/11,” Schumer wrote in a letter to Senate Democrats.

“The footage Speaker McCarthy is making available to Fox News is a treasure trove of closely held information … and its public release would compromise the safety of the Legislative Branch,” the letter said.
