CNN has published a letter House impeachment managers recently wrote to President Trump, inviting him to testify under oath at his impeachment, because he disputed the “factual allegations” brought against him by the House.
On January 21 Judicial Watch requested video footage and emails related to the January 6 breach from the Capitol Police. The Capitol Police refused this request, so Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit on February 16.
The Freedom of Information Act was instituted in 1967 with the goal of providing the public the “right to request access to records from any federal agency.” However, Judicial Watch’s press release claims that Congress exempts itself from the Freedom of Information Act. As such, Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit under the “common law right of access to public records.”
If Congress was truly interested in facts, then why would they be opposed to public disclosure of video footage and emails related to the January 6 breach? Is there more to this story than what is being reported? Maybe.
Steven Sund, former chief of the Capitol Police, resigned his position shortly after the January 6 incident at the request of Speaker Pelosi. Astoundingly, NPR is reporting that Mr. Sund had requested National Guard support six times prior to January 6. His request was denied every time!
