What authorization does he have to do so?

One would think that those tapes would be property of the National Archives and be made available to any news organization that would want to view them.

If they were capture by camera's in and around the Capitol Bldg - I would assume that us taxpayers paid for them and that they shouldn't be turned over to any ONE organization - but to be shared across all.
