A stunning revelation has emerged from former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, directly contradicting Nancy Pelosi’s long-standing narrative about January 6.
According to Sund, on January 3, 2021—three days before the Capitol riot—he formally requested National Guard support to secure the Capitol. His request, he says, was blocked by Pelosi’s own Sergeant at Arms
Even as violence broke out on January 6, Sund claims his urgent pleas for backup were delayed for over 70 minutes while approval was “run up the chain” to Pelosi’s office.
“It is long past time to be honest with the American people,” Sund declared, accusing Pelosi of hypocrisy for rejecting Guard troops before Jan 6—yet surrounding the Capitol with fences, razor wire, and thousands of troops afterward.
This explosive testimony shifts the focus of accountability, raising new questions about whether political decisions—not law enforcement failures—left the Capitol vulnerable.
