As Pelosi was leaving the Capitol, Steinberg asked if Pelosi was concerned about being held liable by a new House subcommittee investigating January 6 events. When pressed about why the National Guard was initially refused, Pelosi angrily told the reporter to &#8220;shut up,&#8221; accusing her of pushing Republican talking points and denying that she had refused the GuardS deployment. The controversy centers on conflicting accounts about who was responsible for the delayed National Guard response, with former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund alleging that requests for support were repeatedly denied, and Pelosi&#8217;s role as Speaker giving her authority over the Sergeant at arms, the official who purportedly rejected those requests. Pelosi has blamed President Trump for not deploying the guard, while acknowledging some duty for the lack of readiness in footage captured after the riots.
