The former chairman of the now disbanded House Jan. 6 Committee raised concerns about House Speaker Kevin McCarthy turning over 40,000 hours of security footage from that day to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

On Monday, Axios first reported that McCarthy had shared the thousands of hours of security footage from the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with Carlson.
