by William Upton, The National Pulse:
Video evidence has emerged implicating Capitol Police Special Agent David Lazarus of having committed perjury in the prosecution of four members of the Oath Keepers organization for actions during the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot. The video, released by The Blaze, shows time-stamped security camera footage that directly contradicts sworn testimony by Lazarus as to where he was during a critical 20-minute period during the riot.
The security camera footage appears to indicate that Lazarus would have been unable to witness the events he claims he saw involving interactions between the four members of the Oath Keepers and Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn. Lazarus and Dunn were both critical witnesses for federal prosecutors in the Oath Keeper case – and hailed as heroes by President Joe Biden and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Officer Dunn Changes His Story.
In an initial FBI interview, Officer Dunn indicated four members of the Oath Keepers had stood between himself and agitated rioters, to de-escalate the situation. Video footage from the incident shows Officer Dunn himself making threats and behaving erratically before the Oath Keepers stepped in and formed a barrier between the officer and rioters. However, Dunn’s story changed in a subsequent interview with him claiming the Oath Keepers had not helped him but were themselves instigating further aggression.
Security Footage Disproves Lazarus’s Claims
During the Oath Keeper trial, Officer Dunn’s new recollection of events was corroborated by Capitol Police Special Agent David Lazarus who claimed he witnessed an altercation between Dunn and the Oath Keepers on several occasions. However, the complete timeline of video evidence, released by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, clearly indicates Lazarus was not in the vicinity of Dunn when the alleged altercation occurred but was a quarter-mile away in the Senate office buildings.
Lazarus did not arrive in the stairwell where Dunn was located until after the Oath Keepers had already left the area and can be seen exiting the Capitol Rotunda through the east doors.
DOJ Cover-Up.
The Blaze’s Steve Baker claims it is unlikely Lazarus and Dunn concocted the story themselves and were instead put up to it by superiors in the federal government. The two differing accounts given by Officer Dunn to the FBI do lend credibility to this claim, suggesting someone within the DOJ may have pressured the officer to point the finger at the Oath Keeper members.
Evidence Hidden.
During the Oath Keeper trial, the video evidence found in the Capitol security camera footage was not made available to the defendants or their attorneys. However, now that it has been made public and calls into question the testimony of two of the government’s key witnesses there will likely be calls for a retrial. Whether a new trial will be granted remains to be seen.
