US EditionEx-Capitol Police Chief Slams Pelosi, Says She Rejected National Guard Help Jan. 6
WASHINGTON D.C., AUG 11 – Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund says Pelosi's office blocked timely National Guard aid on Jan. 6, disputing her claim that Trump delayed deployment during the Capitol attack.
- On January 6, 2021, the U.S. Capitol was violently attacked while Steven Sund led the Capitol Police and urgently sought National Guard support.
- Sund requested National Guard assistance on January 3, but Pelosi's Sergeant at Arms denied these requests and withheld approval for over 70 minutes on January 6.
- Sund made 11 urgent calls starting at 12:58 p.m. for Guard support but lacked legal authority under federal law 2 U.S.C. 1970 to call them in without approval.
- Pelosi admitted, “I take responsibility” for the events and said they begged President Trump to deploy the Guard, but he refused; Sund blamed the Pentagon for delay over optics concerns.
- The disputes over Guard deployment delays and responsibility reignited in 2025 amid criticism of Trump’s federal takeover of D.C. police and ongoing partisan clashes.
