Matt Gaetz says Kevin McCarthy is set to release 14,000 hours of withheld Jan. 6 tapes

When asked by Kirk if he “[anticipated] allowing the dogs to be released [against the federal agencies],” Gaetz said. 
“Kevin McCarthy told us he is going to get the evidence out in front of the American people, and that means releasing the 14,000 hours of tapes that have been hidden, that I think would give more full context to that day rather than the cherry-picked moments the January 6th Committee tried to use to inflame and further divide our country.” 
“So, yes, I do believe that part of this deal is a concession that we are going to get the truth out in front of the American people,” Gaetz continued. 
The congressman also stated that McCarthy, in his victory speech for House Speaker, chose to mention the “weaponization of the FBI [Federal Bureau of Investigation] specifically” rather than just the “weaponization of government.” “His willingness to do that with particularity, I think, shows that he’s ready to lower his shoulder and get into this fight that so many Americans expect us to be in on behalf of civil rights that we hold dear,” Gaetz told Kirk. 
McCarthy confirmed today that he will release the recordings:
