New footage on Jan. 6 reveals Pelosi’s actions leaving the Capitol.

Newly Released Footage Shows Pelosi’s Daughter Filming Her Evacuation on Jan. 6

Recently released surveillance footage from the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, shows then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, filming her mother’s evacuation from the building through a secure route. Alexandra later used the video she shot in her HBO documentary, “Pelosi in the House,” which was released in December.

Real America’s Voice host and Just the News founder John Solomon thanked current House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for helping him gain access to the surveillance footage of Pelosi and Alexandra on Jan. 6. Solomon commented on the newly released surveillance footage, saying, “They wanted to make a movie out of this. They didn’t see this as a crisis moment. They saw this as a political movie moment. And as the security detail is doing the very serious job of evacuation, Nancy Pelosi and her team are basically turning this into a movie.”

“They wanted to make a movie out of this.”

The footage Alexandra shot included portions of Pelosi’s evacuation route at the Capitol and movement to Fort McNair, a secretive Army post in the Washington, D.C., area.

Former Capitol Police Chief Says Pelosi's Daughter's Filming of Jan. 6 Evacuation Was a Distraction

The video appeared in the HBO documentary Pelosi in the House, which was released in December, according to Just the News.

Steven Sund, who was chief of U.S. Capitol Police at the time, told John Solomon and his co-host Amanda Head that Alexandra Pelosi's filming of the evacuation was a distraction for Pelosi's security detail.

"The protective detail isn't there to protect media and whoever else was there with her for the sole purpose of videotaping creates a major distraction for the protective detail," he said. "You know, they don't train to protect those additional people."

Sund further noted that there are a limited number of seats in the armored SUVs used to evacuate Pelosi from the Capitol. Putting Alexandra in one meant one less member of the security detail could be present.

Sund also confirmed that he had requested National Guard presence on Jan. 3, 2021, but was denied by House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving and Senate Sergeant at Arms Michael Stenger, out of concern over "optics" of having the guard present.

"His concern for the optics, I believe, goes back to Pelosi's statement that she referred to the federal agents and National Guard on the streets of America as 'stormtroopers,'" Sund told Fox News in March.

"And I think she just didn't want the look of stormtroopers up on the Hill," he added, referring to a term Pelosi had used to describe federal officers the previous summer when then-President Donald Trump had them deployed in Portland, Oregon in response to riots.

"Trump & his stormtroopers must be stopped," Pelosi tweeted in July 2020.

Unidentified stormtroopers. Unmarked cars. Kidnapping protesters and causing severe injuries in response to graffiti.

These are not the actions of a democratic republic.@DHSgov's actions in Portland undermine its mission.

Trump & his stormtroopers must be stopped.

Both Irving and Stenger resigned on Jan. 7, 2021, the day after the Capitol incursion. Pelosi demanded Sund's resignation that day, as well, citing a "failure of leadership at the top," which he then tendered.

Capitol Police Chief Claims Jan. 6 Committee Didn't Want Him to Testify Publicly

The former Chief of Capitol Police, Steven Sund, has claimed that he was never called to publicly testify before Pelosi’s House Jan. 6 committee. Sund believes that the committee was concerned about revealing what happened on Jan. 6 and the involvement of political leadership and their appointees.

Kash Patel, who was chief of staff to then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller on Jan. 6, also spoke out against Pelosi's actions. Patel agreed that it was not appropriate for Pelosi’s daughter to be filming her evacuation route from the Capitol on Jan. 6. He believes that the Democrats' judgment is based on the politicization of national security and politics when it suits them. Patel also pointed out that if the video had been done by someone else, such as Devin Nunes or Donald Trump, they would have been criticized for exposing national security secrets.
