The Jan. 6 select committee on Wednesday released new information about a Jan. 5 tour of the Capitol complex led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), alleging one of the tour group members later filmed videos threatening lawmakers.

Why it matters: The panel is renewing a request for Loudermilk to testify as part of a deep dive into alleged "surveillance" tours — even as they execute blockbuster hearings to showcase the evidence they've already gathered.

The backdrop: The Capitol Police said Tuesday they reviewed surveillance footage of the tour but didn't observe anything "suspicious."

Driving the news: The new evidence came in a letter to Loudermilk. "We had hoped to show you the video evidence when you met with us," Jan. 6 committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) wrote.

The panel also identifies an unnamed tour group member who took photos of the outside of Rep. Jerry Nadler's (D-N.Y.) office during the tour, and later filmed videos threatening lawmakers, including Nadler.

What they're saying: "Public reporting and witness accounts indicate some individuals and groups engaged in efforts to gather information about the layout of the U.S. Capitol, as well as the House and Senate office buildings, in advance of January 6, 2021," Thompson wrote to Loudermilk.

The other side: Loudermilk said in a statement that the tour footage proves “nothing about this visit with constituents was suspicious,” noting the presence of children holding gift bags.
