New Footage Shows Pelosi Admitting Responsibility for National Guard Absence on January 6, After $20M Probe

Jun 10, 2024, 07:42 PM

Newly released footage reveals former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitting responsibility for the absence of the National Guard at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. In the video, Pelosi states, 'I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.' This admission contradicts the narrative that has been promoted by Democrats and the media, which largely blamed former President Donald Trump for the security failures on that day. The footage has sparked controversy, with some questioning why this information was not included in the January 6 Select Committee's investigation, which spent nearly $20 million over three years. The revelation has led to calls for further scrutiny of the committee's findings and the decisions made by Pelosi and other key figures in the lead-up to the Capitol breach. The footage was reportedly part of a documentary by Pelosi's daughter, and there are mentions of General Mike Milley in relation to the security decisions. Additionally, there are calls to vacate contempt of Congress charges against Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon.
