Nine media organizations, including CNN, have filed a lawsuit in federal court against the FBI and US Attorney's Offices at the Justice Department for access to surveillance tapes of the Capitol Hill riot on January 6, 2021. The tapes, which have been provided exclusively to Fox News, contain 44,000 hours of footage and the plaintiffs argue that they should be made available to all media outlets. The lawsuit argues that the tapes are of public interest and the media outlets have diligently sought access to them for the past two years.

Federal prosecutors have pushed back against claims that a video of "QAnon Shaman" Jacob Chansley exonerated anyone in the Capitol mob on January 6, 2021, arguing that the video lacked context and that Tucker Carlson's portrayal of the rioter's activities was misleading. The Justice Department also argued that the seditious conspiracy trial against the five Proud Boys leaders should not be dismissed based on the footage.
