Newly released footage reveals Nancy Pelosi admitting full responsibility for the lack of National Guard presence at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. In the video, Pelosi states, 'I take responsibility,' acknowledging that she did not ensure adequate security measures were in place. This admission contradicts the narrative that has been built over the past three years, which largely placed the blame on former President Donald Trump. The footage has sparked significant controversy, as it challenges the conclusions of the January 6 Select Committee and raises questions about the use of nearly $20 million in taxpayer funds for the investigation. The footage also implicates General Mike Milley, who, along with Pelosi, refused Trump's request for 10,000 National Guard troops.
