The Department of Justice (DOJ) has withheld more than 8,000 hours of U.S. Capitol security video covering noon to 8 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, leaving criminal defendants without access to more than 60 percent of the footage turned over to the FBI, a federal court filing says.

William A. Pope of Topeka, Kansas, made that assertion in a June 1 filing with U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in Washington.
