Washington, D.C. (November 17, 2023) | Today, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (GA-11), Chairman of the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, announced that United States Capitol Police (USCP) video footage from January 6, 2021 will be made available to the public through two methods, a new online viewing room and in person at the subcommittee’s offices in Washington, D.C. 

Starting today, all video footage previously released to media outlets will be uploaded to an online viewing room for public access. This includes all videos released to Tucker Carlson and other media. Following the initial tranche of footage, the Subcommittee will continue to populate the viewing room with additional footage for public view.

“The goal of our investigation has been to provide the American people with transparency on what happened at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and this includes all official video from that day,” stated Loudermilk. “We will continue loading video footage as we conduct our investigation and continue to review footage. As I’ve said all along—the American people deserve transparency, accountability, and real answers supported by facts instead a predetermined political narrative."

The public will be able to access the footage via an online public viewing room on the Committee on House Administration’s website, found here.

Also, beginning Monday, November 20, the Subcommittee will allow any U.S. citizen to access USCP video footage of the Capitol from January 6, 2021 by scheduling an appointment to view the videos in person in the Subcommittee’s offices in Washington, D.C. To schedule an appointment, please email [email protected]. This is the first time the general public will be allowed to view—and request clips from— all USCP video footage from the USCP CCTV cameras at the Capitol from January 6, 2021.

This week, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) sat down with John Solomon and Amanda Head on Just the News' No Noise to discuss the FBI's efforts in the January 6 gallow investigation. He questioned the FBI's failure to conduct a basic and thorough investigation into the matter and demanded answers as to why the gallows remained in place for much of the day.

Washington, D.C. (November, 14, 2023) | Rep. Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) issued the following statement regarding his vote to support Speaker Johnson's stopgap funding bill:

“Every year I’ve been in the House of Representatives, the federal government has received a huge Christmas gift from Congress --- an enormous Omnibus spending package that the American people unwillingly pays for with their tax dollars. Regardless of whether it’s Republican or Democrat control, the same scenario has played out with one huge spending bill passing Congress at the last minute in late December.

"With our national debt now exceeding $33.6 trillion, we can no longer afford to continue the status quo of enormous, inflated, last-minute spending packages. As I have fought to cut spending over the years, I have also stated that we must first reform the process before we can make effective cuts.

"This year, the Senate, along with the Washington establishment, was moving forward with another Christmas-time over-inflated omnibus spending package. Everything seemed to be on track to jam it through, until this week. The Washington elites didn’t count on Speaker Mike Johnson leading the House, or him standing by his commitment to change the status quo and cut federal spending.

"Almost immediately after taking the gavel, Speaker Johnson laid out an aggressive but achievable plan to responsibly cut the federal coffers as well as force the President to secure our borders and aggressively defend our national security. Unfortunately, because of a government funding deadline of November 17, we ran out of runway before our fiscal reform could get off the ground.

"I have persistently opposed Continuing Resolutions (CRs), because I believe we should do our job and pass appropriation bills by the established deadline; however, in this circumstance, I believe that giving the new Speaker some additional time to implement a plan to significantly change federal spending is important to long term fiscal responsibility. This bill will also give us time to address other critical issues, such as reforming FISA, securing our borders, and strengthening our national security.

"This temporary funding measure will give us the time needed to push forward with our spending cuts, as well as finally ending the decades-long practice of the huge Christmas Omnibus. While this plan may seem a bit unorthodox, it significantly changes the status quo, which is why conservatives like me, and organizations such as Americans for Prosperity, are supporting this bill."

At this point, the House has individually passed seven of the twelve appropriations bills that fund over 75% of the federal government. The Senate has passed only one appropriations package, containing three bills that fund 17% of the government. House Republicans are leading the government spending fight by putting forth this legislation that denies the Senate and the White House the opportunity to jam the American people with a bloated, unscrutinized omnibus before the holidays.

Key highlights include: 

• This legislation is supported by Americans for Prosperity.
• There is no extension for FISA, giving more time to negotiate reforms.
• Takes a bifurcated approach for additional government funding into the new year in order to prevent a year-end omnibus appropriations package, forcing the Senate to come to the table on individual appropriations bills.
• • Provides extended funding through January 19th, 2024 for the following: 
    • Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and related agencies
    • Energy and Water Development 
    • Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and related agencies
    • Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and related agencies
      
      
  • Provides extended funding through February 2nd, 2024 for the following: 
    • Commerce, Justice, Science, and related agencies
    • Department of Defense
    • Financial Services and General Government 
    • Homeland Security 
    • Interior, Environment, and related agencies 
    • Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and related agencies 
    • Legislative Branch
    • State and Foreign Operations and related programs
      
      
• Includes temporary extensions for the following expiring programs:
• Health care extenders 
  • Extends funds for Community Health Centers, Teaching Health Centers, Special Diabetes Programs, and national health security authorities through January 19, 2024.
  • Continues support of providers in rural and underserved areas with delays of scheduled cuts to Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) cuts and an extension of the Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI) floor through January 19, 2024, and delays planned cuts for laboratories for one year.
  • All extensions are fully offset.
    
    
• Farm bill is extended for one year.
• National Flood Insurance Program is extended through February 2nd, 2024.
