Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Footage shows Republican congressman giving Capitol Hill tour to Jan 6 attacker” – below is their description.

Video has emerged showing Republican congressman Barry Loudermilk giving a tour of Capitol Hill to a January 6 attacker a day before the attack. The video emerged during one of the ongoing hearings probing what another congressman described as an ‘attempted coup’. Loudermilk previously denied he led the unofficial tour, then said he only led a few families with children before admitting he took over a dozen people through the government’s buildings. The video shows him leading a small group past security checkpoints as one of them takes photos behind him. This man joined Trump supporters the next day in the assault on the Hill
