FBI Says It's Not Hiding Oklahoma City Bombing Videos

A judge will rule on whether the FBI is hiding video evidence in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that a lawyer alleges shows a second suspect.

The FBI thoroughly searched its archives and found no evidence that more videos of the Oklahoma City bombing exist, agency employees told a judge Monday in a trial that has rekindled questions about whether any others were involved in the 1995 attack. Additional searches for videos that Salt Lake City lawyer Jesse Trentadue believes are being withheld would be burdensome and fruitless, FBI attorney Kathryn Wyer argued during the first day of a bench trial.

Trentadue says the agency is refusing to release videos that show a second person was with Timothy McVeigh when he parked a truck outside the Oklahoma City federal building and detonated a bomb that killed 168 people. The government says McVeigh was alone.

The 30 video recordings the FBI has released don't show the explosion or McVeigh's arrival in a rental truck.
