House Republicans Call on Pelosi to Testify About Jan. 6 Security Failures

Two House Republicans are calling on outgoing Speaker Nancy Pelosi to testify before Congress after a GOP report revealed on Dec. 21 that her staff played a key role in the security planning that failed to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

โ€œThe reason there wasnโ€™t a proper security presence on that day goes right to the speakerโ€™s staff and the speakerโ€™s office,โ€ Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told Just the News Wednesday following the release of the House Republicansโ€™ report detailing the security failures that led to the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

โ€œAs you go back and look at the communications, thereโ€™s this pattern that develops where the Sergeant of Arms is meeting with Pelosiโ€™s staff,โ€ added Jordan, the incoming House Judiciary Committee chairman. โ€œMany of those meetings, Republican staff wasnโ€™t allowed to be there, but they had this pattern where everything had to run through her office, her staff, before the Sergeant of Arms could make a decision.โ€

Security Failures

In a separate interview, Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) told Just the News that the National Guard was delayed in arriving at the Capitol on Jan. 6 because then-Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving had been waiting on Pelosiโ€™s guidance.

โ€œItโ€™s almost like there were individuals within the current administration that wanted this to happen,โ€ Nehls said. โ€œAll the intelligence was there, and what did they have? What did they have? They had bicycle racks. โ€ฆ A bicycle rack couldnโ€™t keep your cat in your yard.โ€

Jordan and Nehls were among the five House Republicans to release the GOP report Wednesday ahead of the release of the House Jan. 6 select committeeโ€™s final report.

Nehls, noting that texts from Irving corroborated accounts that U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) had ushered protesters into the building, added, โ€œThe American people arenโ€™t hearing any of this from the sham [Jan. 6] committee.โ€

Nehls also revealed that a former D.C. National Guard Commander had told him that, had the National Guard been called to the Capitol when police asked for help on Jan. 4, the events of Jan. 6 would have โ€œnever, ever happened.โ€
