WASHINGTON — A new court filing claims that most of the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6 surveillance footage aired last week by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, which he used to downplay the seriousness of the attack, was aired without the approval of the U.S. Capitol Police -- despite Carlson's claims to the contrary.

Capitol Police general counsel Thomas DiBiase said in a sworn affidavit filed in D.C. federal court Friday that despite DiBiase's requests to a senior Republican staffer that he review every clip from the USCP's internal system that would be made public, he was shown and approved"only one clip" that Carlson ultimately aired on his show last Monday and Tuesday.

"Before airing any of this video, we checked first with the Capitol Police," Carlson said last Monday."We are happy to say the reservations were minor and for the most part they were reasonable." According to the affidavit, the handover of video to Carlson's team was a departure from the processes followed by the now-disbanded House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack and the Justice Department's separate ongoing criminal probe into the riot.

Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger said in an internal memo to U.S. Capitol Police last Tuesday that the commentary on Carlson's show was"filled with offensive and misleading conclusions about the January 6 attack."
