Security footage shown to the public for the first time this month by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson doesn’t exonerate Jan. 6 defendants, prosecutors argued in a new court filing.
Republicans gave Carlson access to tens of thousands of hours of footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol breach, and he broadcast clips on his show, including footage that showed Jacob Chansley, one of the defendants, being escorted by police officers around the Capitol with no attempt to remove him from the building. The footage wasn’t given to Chansley’s defense, his current and former lawyers have said.
