Newly released CCTV footage from the Capitol has cast serious doubts over the testimony provided by Special Agent David Lazarus, head of security for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, during the Oath Keepers trial. The footage, which was made public with the permission of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), contradicts key claims made by Lazarus and raises troubling questions about the integrity of the entire case.
Lazarus was called in as a witness to support another Capitol police officer’s account, which alleged an antagonistic encounter between Officer Harry Dunn and the Oath Keepers on January 6th. However, the released footage appears to contradict Lazarus’s testimony, suggesting that he was not present at the scene and could not have witnessed the events as described.
The testimonies of individuals like Lazarus have been used to convict many people who are now serving lengthy prison sentences. Charges were levied against individuals for unlawfully entering restricted areas of the Capitol, engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct, acts of violence or physical confrontation with law enforcement officers, and theft of items from the Capitol.
Pelosi played a significant role in the response to the incident. Following the events, Pelosi supported the creation of a select committee to investigate the January 6th events. This committee, led primarily by Democrats with the addition of a few RINOs, conducted hearings and collected evidence to provide a comprehensive account of the incident.
One of the most concerning aspects of the report by Blaze Media is the heroization of Officer Harry Dunn based on his alleged actions on that day. Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi have praised Dunn for his bravery and integrity, further cementing his image as a heroic figure.
If the footage is accurate, it paints a disturbing picture of a potential miscarriage of justice where innocent individuals have been imprisoned while those who testified falsely have been celebrated. The sequence of events in the CCTV footage shows that at the time of the alleged encounter between Dunn and the Oath Keepers, Lazarus can be seen in a completely different location, far removed from the scene.
Moreover, during Officer Lazarus’s trial testimony, he claimed to have returned to the Capitol building after hearing shots fired over Capitol Police radio. However, this event occurred after the alleged encounter between Dunn and the Oath Keepers had already concluded. It appears that videos supporting the defense’s case were never released to the defense attorneys, potentially withholding exculpatory evidence that could have cleared the accused.
