The House speaker isn’t in charge of security at the Capitol and doesn’t direct the National Guard.
Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Pelosi, previously told The Associated Press that the former House speaker “was no more in charge of Capitol security than [Senate Republican leader] Mitch McConnell was.”
“This is a clear attempt to whitewash what happened on January 6th and divert blame,” Hammill wrote of the suggestion that Pelosi blocked National Guard protection.
