- Steven Sund, the ex -Capitol Police chief fired after the Jan. 6 tragedy, is blasting former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for hampering her evacuation from the U.S. Capitol that day by letting her daughter Alexandra film her exit, saying it proved a “distraction” that put unnecessary strain on her security detail.
- “When you look at the footage, what you need to realize is a protective detail is specifically for the protectee. You’re there, you’re protecting the protectee,” Sund said on the Just the News Not Noise TV show Thursday night. “Now, Capitol Police statutorily do have the authority to protect family members. And it’s my understanding the person holding the camera was Pelosi’s daughter. But she’s there in the position of being media.
- Sund said the filming operation also likely created consequences for the specialized vehicle that was sent to whisk Pelosi to a safe location at Fort McNair, a secretive Army base.
