In the aftermath of the January 6th Capitol riot, the search for answers and accountability has taken center stage in American political discourse. But as new evidence emerges and key figures speak out, the narrative is shifting in unexpected ways. Former Capitol Police Chief Stephen Sund, once thrust into the spotlight as the events of that fateful day unfolded, is now directly challenging former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, exposing what he calls a \u201cdeliberate delay\u201d in National Guard deployment and a campaign to shift blame away from Congressional leadership.<\/p>\n
It began with a tense exchange between Nancy Pelosi and journalist Allison Steinberg of Lindell TV. Steinberg pressed Pelosi with a question that has haunted the halls of Congress since January 6th: \u201cWhy did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?\u201d Pelosi, visibly irritated, snapped back, \u201cShut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn\u2019t send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you\u2019re a serious journalist?\u201d<\/p>\n
Stenger is still waiting for Irving\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n
Sund\u2019s frustration is palpable: \u201cDenied. Denied. Denied. Can I\u2014How about now? How about now? How about now?\u201d<\/p>\n
Why, then, were Sund\u2019s requests denied? According to his account, Congressional leaders were concerned about the \u201coptics\u201d of deploying the National Guard\u2014a move they feared would make the Capitol look like a militarized zone. Sund alleges that this reluctance was partly motivated by political calculations: \u201cWe want the optics to be the Capitol being ransacked. So, we can blame Trump on that and then impeach him and prevent him from ever running again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite being denied critical resources, Sund and his officers managed to resecure the Capitol within hours of the breach. For his efforts, however, Sund says he was forced to resign, humiliated, and stripped of his benefits.<\/p>\n
In the wake of the riot, Congress passed the Capitol Police Emergency Assistance Act of 2021, which changed the rules regarding National Guard deployment. Sund points out that, prior to this law, he lacked the authority to call in the National Guard without approval from the Capitol Police Board, which included the House and Senate Sergeants-at-Arms.<\/p>\n
Pelosi and her allies have repeatedly claimed that President Trump refused to send the National Guard, implying that he wanted the unrest to occur. However, Sund and others dispute this narrative, noting that Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington, D.C., also declined National Guard support in a letter sent on January 5th, citing coordination with Congressional security officials.<\/p>\n
Sund\u2019s revelations have reignited the debate over accountability for January 6th. He accuses Congressional leaders of \u201cweaponizing the entire government\u201d against Trump and his supporters, waging \u201cpolitical warfare\u201d for years.<\/p>\n
The controversy over National Guard deployment on January 6th highlights a larger issue: the intersection of security and politics in the nation\u2019s capital. Sund\u2019s account suggests that political considerations took precedence over public safety, with devastating consequences.<\/p>\n
As Stephen Sund continues to speak out, his story serves as a powerful counter-narrative to the official explanations offered by Congressional leaders. His detailed timeline, corroborated by official documents and subsequent changes to the law, paints a picture of missed opportunities and deliberate delays.<\/p>\n
With Congressional investigations ongoing and new evidence coming to light, the battle for accountability is far from over. Whether Sund\u2019s revelations will lead to real change remains to be seen. But one thing is certain\u2014the truth about January 6th is more complex, and more politically charged, than many in Washington would like to admit.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration has drawn a clear line between responsible journalism and political espionage. On Friday, President Donald Trump\u2019s White House officially barred reporters from accessing a key section of the West Wing\u2014known as the\u00a0<\/p>\n
The move follows mounting evidence that members of the mainstream media had been eavesdropping on private cabinet discussions and secretly recording sensitive material.<\/p>\n
For years, the so-called \u201cpress freedom\u201d crowd has used their credentials as a license to invade privacy, twist quotes, and undermine the President\u2019s agenda. But under Trump\u2019s leadership, that era of unchecked access and deep-state leaks appears to be ending.<\/p>\n
The new order, issued by the National Security Council and enforced by White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, states that no reporter may enter the Upper Press without an appointment. The memo cited \u201cthe protection of sensitive material from unauthorized disclosure,\u201d an objective most Americans would find not only reasonable but essential.<\/p>\n
Cheung, known for his no-nonsense defense of the administration, revealed that this decision wasn\u2019t made lightly. \u201cCabinet secretaries were being ambushed and secretly recorded by reporters lurking outside private offices,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s an unacceptable breach of trust.\u201d<\/p>\n
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, one of the most dynamic figures in the administration, has become a target for left-leaning journalists desperate to manufacture controversy. Sources confirm that several mainstream reporters were caught \u201chovering\u201d near her office door\u2014listening in during confidential cabinet meetings.<\/p>\n
Cheung posted on X, formerly Twitter, that some of these reporters had even taken unauthorized photos of classified briefing materials. \u201cWe\u2019ve had to chase reporters down who started strolling into restricted areas towards the Oval. Total absence of boundaries,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t a crackdown on the free press\u2014it\u2019s a defense against a press that\u2019s gone rogue. For too long, major outlets like CNN, The Washington Post, and The New York Times have blurred the line between journalism and sabotage. Trump\u2019s team is drawing that line again.<\/p>\n
The new restrictions apply only to the Upper Press, the area adjacent to the Oval Office and Press Secretary Leavitt\u2019s workspace. Journalists will still have full access to the Lower Press section near the briefing room. That means legitimate reporting isn\u2019t being silenced\u2014it\u2019s being held to professional standards.<\/p>\n
The decision follows other necessary reforms implemented by the Trump administration to restore order and discipline in government communication. Earlier this month, several outlets\u2014including AFP\u2014refused to comply with updated Pentagon press guidelines designed to protect classified material.<\/p>\n
Rather than adapt, these same outlets are now crying \u201ccensorship.\u201d But the reality is simpler: President Trump is putting national security above media theatrics.<\/p>\n
For years, legacy media have operated like a political class of their own\u2014waltzing through restricted areas, pestering staff, and mining private conversations for clickbait. When Trump first took office in 2017, he promised to expose the rot in Washington. Now, with his return to the White House, he\u2019s making good on that promise once again.<\/p>\n
Insiders say that the National Security Council\u2019s new structure, which Trump placed under the leadership of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has increased the sensitivity of information handled in the West Wing. The need for tighter access is both logical and overdue.<\/p>\n
The incident that triggered this move reportedly occurred after reporters were caught eavesdropping during a closed-door meeting with Leavitt and a visiting cabinet member. Witnesses claim the individuals were literally pressing their ears to the door\u2014an act that would be unthinkable under any prior administration.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t journalism; it\u2019s espionage,\u201d one senior official remarked privately. \u201cIf any conservative reporter had pulled something like that during the Obama years, they\u2019d have been escorted out in handcuffs.\u201d<\/p>\n
The media\u2019s meltdown over the new rule only exposes their arrogance. For decades, they\u2019ve acted as though the White House was their playground. But under Trump, the people\u2019s house is once again being protected for the people\u2014not the pundits.<\/p>\n
Leavitt herself has taken the attacks in stride. A rising star within Trump\u2019s circle, she has faced relentless harassment from leftist journalists since stepping into the role. Despite that, she continues to deliver sharp, confident briefings that highlight the administration\u2019s achievements\u2014from freeing American hostages to restoring order on the southern border.<\/p>\n
Many conservatives have applauded the move, saying it\u2019s about time the White House stopped rewarding bad behavior. \u201cIf you can\u2019t respect basic security rules, you don\u2019t belong anywhere near the President\u2019s staff,\u201d one commentator said on Truth Social.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, liberal reporters are crying foul, framing their restriction as an \u201cattack on democracy.\u201d But Americans aren\u2019t buying it. Polls show record-low trust in mainstream media, with many citizens agreeing that the press has become little more than a propaganda arm for the left.<\/p>\n
Trump supporters see this as another victory in the fight to drain the swamp\u2014not just in government, but in journalism. As one viral post put it: \u201cThey spied, they lied, and now they\u2019ve been denied.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
