“The Speaker’s release of security footage exclusively to Tucker Carlson is pure and simple using congressional resources for partisan gamesmanship,' Public_Citizen's ethics complaint against SpeakerMcCarthy reads. “It was wrong.'
Members of Public Citizen filed a complaint against McCarthy on Tuesday, requesting that the Office of Congressional Ethics investigate the speaker over whether he violated House rules. The request comes one day after Carlson began releasing portions of the footage on his prime-time show, prompting concerns among other news outlets he would “advocate an inaccurate story of events.”
“The Speaker’s release of security footage exclusively to Tucker Carlson is pure and simple using congressional resources for partisan gamesmanship — the very type of polarizing gamesmanship that has caused such damage to the public’s perception of the integrity of Congress,” the group wrote in its letter.
The House speaker has vowed to make the footage available to other news outlets once Carlson’s crew is finished sifting through it, but it’s unclear how long that may take. Public Citizen denounced McCarthy over the decision to provide the footage exclusively to Carlson, accusing the speaker of violating the First Amendment.
McCarthy has previously defended releasing the surveillance tapes to only Carlson, brushing off criticism as other journalists just being “jealous.”
