President Donald Trump\u2019s bold move to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department and deploy National Guard troops to the nation\u2019s capital has triggered a predictable meltdown from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and one former U.S. Capitol Police Chief is calling her out for her brazen hypocrisy.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump announced a federal takeover of law enforcement in the nation\u2019s capital. During a press conference, he declared \u201cLiberation Day\u201d in Washington, placing the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control, deploying 800 National Guard troops, and labeling the city\u2019s conditions dire and chaotic.<\/p>\n
Invoking Section 740 of the Home Rule Act, Trump asserted authority to federalize the D.C. police amid what he described as a public safety emergency. The mayor\u2019s office and congressional leaders were bypassed.<\/p>\n
In addition to federalizing the D.C. police, Trump deployed FBI, DEA, and other federal agents to conduct night patrols and oversee the outreach. He also pledged to relocate homeless encampments, calling for immediate removal.<\/p>\n
Trump also hinted that similar measures might be taken in other major cities\u2014like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago\u2014if they do not \u201cclean up\u201d voluntarily.<\/p>\n
\n. @POTUS<\/a> \u201cWE ARE TAKING OUR CAPITAL BACK.<\/p>\n

As expected, Nancy Pelosi rushed to social media to attack Trump\u2019s decisive action.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cDonald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake.<\/p>\n
Now, he\u2019s activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration \u2014 just to name a few blunders.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
But former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund was not about to let Pelosi rewrite history. Sund, who was on the front lines during the January 6 Capitol riot, torched Pelosi\u2019s narrative in a blistering statement that exposes the truth she\u2019d rather Americans forget.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cMa\u2019am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people. On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. \u00a71970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority.<\/p>\n
On January 6, while the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes, \u201crunning it up the chain\u201d for your approval.<\/p>\n
When I needed assistance, it was denied. Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In 2023, the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight\u00a0held a hearing<\/a>\u00a0titled, \u201cOversight of United States Capitol Security: Assessing Security Failures on January 6, 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rep. Barry Loudermilk heads the subcommittee. Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven A. Sund testified before the committee.<\/p>\n
Chief Steven Sund has been outspoken of Nancy Pelosi and her failures to secure the US Capitol that day.<\/p>\n
It has been widely reported that President Trump asked for the National Guard\u00a0three days in advance<\/a>\u00a0of January 6. But Pelosi turned him down.\u00a0 She refused to call in the National Guard despite numerous warnings of possible violence.<\/p>\n
Pelosi then\u00a0refused to turn over<\/a>\u00a0information about her culpability in the security breakdown during the Jan. 6 riot for over a year to congressional investigators.<\/p>\n
Steven A. Sund, the Capitol Police chief on that fateful day, not only confirms her culpability along with the rest of the Democratic leadership. Sund\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that Pelosi utilized him as a scapegoat and forced him to step down as Police Chief. We all know now she was just trying to obfuscate her own responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n
The day after January 6, Nancy Pelosi blamed Chief Sund for the security failures that day.\u00a0 Pelosi insisted she never spoke with Chief Sund the entire day.<\/p>\n
Chief Steven Sund refuted Pelosi\u2019s lies. Sund told the subcommittee he spoke with Pelosi three times<\/a> on January 6 (while she was running the building with her film crew.)<\/p>\n
