Goldcrest Films International filmed both inside and outside the Capitol on Jan. 6 and captured a meeting between the leaders of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers.
The Jan. 6 select committee has obtained footage from a documentary film company that captured crucial moments during the run up to the assault on the Capitol — including snippets of an encounter between leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.
The documentary company, Goldcrest Films International, obtained key footage while filming outside the Capitol on Jan. 6 and following members of the mob inside. But most notably, the crew was present during a 30-minute meeting between Proud Boys national leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers Founder Stewart Rhodes, an exchange that has become of interest to federal prosecutors.
Rhodes has been charged with seditious conspiracy for his role on Jan. 6, while Tarrio is facing felony obstruction charges.
A source familiar with the Goldcrest footage indicated that the select committee has begun reviewing it as part of its investigation into the factors that caused the insurrection.
Goldcrest documentarians have described in previous news reports being given unusually broad access to Tarrio and other members of the Proud Boys. The company has already been cited in recent Justice Department filings related to the prosecution of several members of the Jan. 6 mob. The footage has helped FBI investigators identify some of those who have since been charged with breaching the Capitol.
