In the clip, filmed by her daughter Alexandra Pelosi for a HBO documentary, Pelosi\u2063 is seen discussing the\u200d lack of National Guard presence and accepts responsibility for not ensuring better\u200d preparation. According to a report by House Republicans, Pelosi&#8217;s office had earlier rejected multiple\u2063 requests for \u200bthe National Guard due\u2063 to concerns over &#8220;optics&#8221; following protests in Washington D.C. during the summer of 2020. The report also criticizes the select committee \u200bheaded by Pelosi for not delving into these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/capitol-police-chief-steven-sund-says-j6-committee-interviewed-him-only-once\/\" title=\"Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund interviewed once by J6 Committee\">institutional \u2064failures<\/a>\u200c and ignoring evidence that ex-President Trump had tried\u2063 to deploy \u200b10,000 National Guard troops prior to the events of January 6. \u200cPelosi\u2019s\u2062 deputies reportedly rejected pre-riot guard deployments repeatedly,\u2063 and former \u200cCapitol Police Chief Steven Sund claimed his requests for reinforcements during the \u2063riot faced significant delays.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>New <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/footage-released-of-violent-myanmar-protests-after-at-least-38-people-killed\/\" title=\"Footage Released Of Violent Myanmar Protests After At Least 38 People Killed\">footage released<\/a> by House Republicans investigating the Select Committee on Jan. 6 from last Congress exposed then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi acknowledging her own culpability in the Capitol turmoil.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight released the tape <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/06\/09\/chaos-anger-congressional-leaders-jan-6-evacuation-00162424\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">obtained<\/a> from HBO and filmed by Pelosi\u2019s daughter Alexandra, who published a documentary on the former speaker with the network.

The president encountered resistance, however, from Pentagon leadership, and corroborating evidence of White House demands was suppressed by the Select Committee on Jan. 6, which concealed testimony that revealed Trump\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Former Rep.
