Capitol security footage from the time prior to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, disproves Democrats’ claims that House Republicans gave “reconnaissance tours” to riot planners, Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) says.

In a Feb. 17 letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Davis called for the release of all security video footage from the lead-up to the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol building.
