On January 6, the committee released a video of the tour led by the GOP lawmaker the day before the riots.

The House Selection Committee on January 6 released video evidence showing members of a tour group led by Georgia State Representative Barry Loudermilk photographing and documenting “areas of the complex that are not normally of interest to tourists, including corridors, stairs and security checkpoints”.

New footage has been made public as part of evidence provided to Mr Loudermilk, a Georgia Republican, along with a letter from select committee chair Bennie Thompson extending the panel’s request about Mr. Loudermilk giving evidence in a voluntary interview with committee members and staff.

“Based on our assessment of surveillance video, social media activity, and eyewitness accounts, we understand that you led a tour group through parts of the Capitol complex on May 5. 1, 2021. That group stayed for several hours, even though the complex was publicly closed that day,” Thompson wrote, adding that the Capitol surveillance footage was filmed that day and obtained by the panel described a “tour of about ten individuals” led by Mr. Loudermilk viewing” areas in the Rayburn, Longworth and Cannon House Office Buildings, as well as the entrances to the tunnels leading to to the US Capitol”.

The Chairman also noted that those on the tour led by Loudermilk took photos and videos of the many corridors, stairs, and security checkpoints of the Capitol Police, and provided surveillance videos.
