WASHINGTON — A man who toured the Capitol complex with a Republican lawmaker the day before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack later marched on the building while making threats against Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other prominent Democrats, the House committee investigating the attack said on Wednesday.

But the committee said that several people who participated in Mr. Loudermilk’s tour attended President Donald J. Trump’s rally on the Ellipse on the morning of Jan. 6.

The man featured in the video is heard threatening top Democrats, including Senator Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, and Representatives Jerrold Nadler and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, all of New York.

Jan. 6 panel releases video of Capitol tour before attack

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection released video on Wednesday of a Capitol tour led by a Republican lawmaker the day before the attack, showing participants taking photos of stairwells and tunnels in the complex.

The panel released the video as it renewed calls for the GOP lawmaker, Georgia Rep. Barry Loudermilk, to speak to the committee about the tour. Loudermilk has so far declined the interview and denied any wrongdoing, and the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police said in a letter to Republicans this week that after reviewing surveillance video, “we do not consider any of the activities we observed as suspicious.”
