Fmr Capitol Police Chief Gives Pelosi a ‘Reminder’ About J6 After She Blamed Trump

Sund Says Requests Continued During the Riot

The Steven Sund response to Nancy Pelosi also described events on January 6 itself. Sund said he again requested National Guard help as violence unfolded.

He stated that approval was delayed for more than 70 minutes. During that time, he said the request was sent up the chain of command.

Sund said the House Sergeant at Arms denied the request while seeking further approval. The delay occurred while the Capitol was under attack.

He argued that these events contradict claims that Trump personally blocked the deployment. The issue has remained central in political debates about January 6.
