Ex-Capitol Police Chief Slams Pelosi, Says She Rejected National Guard Help Jan. 6

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.

  • Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund accused Nancy Pelosi of denying his requests for National Guard assistance before and during the January 6 attack on the Capitol, stating, 'When I needed assistance, it was denied,' referencing repeated denials for over 70 minutes.
  • Sund revealed he made multiple urgent calls for National Guard support on January 6, but approval was 'withheld for 71 minutes' as Pelosi's Sergeant at Arms 'ran it up the chain.'
  • Pelosi criticized President Donald Trump for delaying National Guard deployment during the Capitol riots, stating it was 'an attempt to distract from his incompetent mishandling' of various issues.
  • The renewed clash between Sund and Pelosi arises amid Trump's activation of the D.C. National Guard, fueling ongoing disputes over accountability for the events of January 6.
