Mike Johnson’s Office Walks Back Reason For Blurring Insurrectionists’ Faces
"Just hours after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) declared Tuesday that rioters in the Jan. 6 insurrection would have their faces blurred in security footage so they’d avoid prosecution by the DOJ, a spokesperson walked back the Republican leader’s statement.
Speaking at a press conference, Johnson said, “We have to blur some of the faces of persons who participated in the events of that day because we don't want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ.”
He added that he didn’t want the House’s release of thousands of hours worth of security footage from Jan. 6—slated to be released in batches over the coming months—to cause insurrectionists any more “concerns and problems” than they’ve already faced."
