In a brief video, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said, "I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more," referring to U.S. Capitol security, not the National Guard.
No member of Congress has the authority to activate the District of Columbia National Guard. Only the president, defense secretary and U.S. Army secretary do.
Records show that Pelosi approved a Jan. 6, 2021, request to seek support from the National Guard and pushed to get National Guard troops to the U.S. Capitol when their deployment was delayed by hours that day
