On Wednesday, the January 6 committee released bombshell footage revealing that Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., may have provided a Capitol tour just ahead of the insurrection to a man who appears to have participated in that very insurrection, lending more credence to the Democratic-backed claim that the GOP lawmakers led reconnaissance tours before the insurgency was carried out.
The footage, as reported by CNN, appears to show Loudermilk allowing a man to take pictures of various tunnels, hallways and staircases throughout the complex on January 5. That man, the panel has said, was later seen storming the Capitol the following day. He also appears to have taken a picture of the office sign of Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., whom the rioter in question later threatened in a video.
