Texas authorities are expected to face sharp questioning over why cellphone video Sandra Bland took during her confrontational 2015 traffic stop never publicly surfaced until now.
A state House committee wants answers at a hearing Friday after the 39-second clip emerged this month . Bland was found hanging in a jail cell near Houston three days after she was pulled over for not signaling a lane change.
The death of the 28-year-old black woman set off protests nationwide.

Texas authorities say the video was given to Bland’s family attorney with other evidence. But the family says they never saw it.
