New Jan. 6 Footage Shows Pelosi and Schumer Wresting Control of Capitol
The Jan. 6 House committee on Thursday revealed behind-the-scenes footage of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and other congressional leaders desperately pleading for assistance and resources from the Trump administration during the Capitol riots.
These never-before-seen videos were among the more remarkable revelations contained within what may be the final meeting of the House panel investigating the insurrection attempt and former President Donald Trump’s role in inciting the violent attack.
Prior to the committee unveiling the footage—filmed by Pelosi’s daughter, Alexandra Pelosi—the members detailed Trump and his allies’ pre-planned plot to assert that the he’d won the 2020 presidential election on Election Day—even if he had clearly lost.
