Sorter got his scoop from The Blaze’s Steve Baker who wrote on X “I’m pleased to announce the approval process for The Blaze to release #Jan6 Capitol CCTV videos and images is back on track under Speaker Johnson.”

He continued “I will post images and an official statement here on X later today or first thing tomorrow. Stay tuned.”

Take a look:

It’s unclear why Johnson chose The Blaze to publish the footage but previously the Blaze published an article titled “Mr. Speaker, release the J6 footage”

One of the first things I did after becoming editor in chief of Blaze Media was make Steve Baker a contributor. This is because for the last two years, Steve has been performing the rarest job in America: carefully investigating the truth about the events of January 6, 2021.

When it comes to the protest more than two years ago at the United States Capitol, instead of speaking truth to power, most media outlets are speaking lies to the powerless on the behalf of the powerful.

The narrative about that day that every person in polite society is now supposed to accept is at least as grossly exaggerated as the 2020 George Floyd riots were downplayed. But people obey power, not facts.

Apart from Julie Kelly’s heroic work, Darren Beattie and friends at Revolver, Joe Hanneman at the Epoch Times, and a tiny handful of others, most journalists and media outlets dutifully regurgitate obvious propaganda.

First, let’s state the obvious: The Democratic Party continues to use the protest as an excuse to demonize, delegitimize, and viciously persecute its domestic political opposition, including half the nation that supported the Republican nominee the Democrats are now trying to imprison.

The narrative about January 6 is being used as a wedge that our ruling class mercilessly hammers to separate “good” and “respectable” Republicans who go along with it from — according to Joe Biden — “extremist,” “authoritarian,” “insurrectionist” Republicans who threaten the very soul of our nation.

But if anyone truly cares about justice under the law and our system of government, the question of what happened that day should not revolve around whether someone is a Democrat or a Republican or whatever they happen to think about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.

All Americans should care about one thing above all else: the truth.

Baker however said it’s unclear if all footage will be released.
