Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to create a new select committee to investigate the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Johnson said on Friday that he plans to release publicly thousands of hours of footage from the attack. This would fulfill a pledge he made last month to right-wing members of the GOP when he was campaigning for the job following the ousting of former Speaker Kevin McCarthyAn initial batch of security footage was released on a public committee website on Friday, with the rest of the 44,000 hours of footage expected to be uploaded in the coming months.
