CNN attorney and reporter discuss obtaining Capitol riot videos

Reliable Sources

Dozens of the most significant videos capturing the January 6th Capitol riot have yet to be seen by the public because the Justice Department and the federal courts haven't proactively made the footage available. Some of those videos were recently released because a group of 16 major media outlets led by CNN sued for access. CNN's assistant general counsel Drew Shenkman and reporter Katelyn Polantz discuss their efforts to obtain these videos.
