'I'm a little p***ed off': Former Capitol Police chief tells Tucker Carlson in leaked Fox interview that Jan. 6 events were a 'cover-up'
Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund told Tucker Carlson in a controversial interview that "everything appears to be a cover-up" as it pertains to the Jan. 6, 2021, protests at the U.S. Capitol.
Although Fox News kept that interview under wraps, the National Pulse has begun releasing segments wherein Sund provides critical insights into an event that has been used to great effect by Democrats and other forces antipathetic to former President Donald Trump.
When speaking to Russell Brand in early July, Carlson said he had initially taken an interest in the Jan. 6 protests due to all the "lying about it."
"So, the more time has passed … it becomes really obvious that core claims they made about January 6 were lies," said Carlson. "The amount of lying around January 6, and it was obvious in the tapes that I showed, is really distressing."
Prior to his ouster at Fox, Carlson had aired previously unreleased footage of the protests that appeared to contradict the narrative that had been carefully constructed by the media and the Jan. 6 committee.
When speaking to Brand, Carlson referenced an eye-opening interview he had conducted with Sund while still at Fox News, saying, "I never thought it was a false flag or anything like that. I'm not a conspiracist by temperament. I never thought that. ... And then I interviewed the chief of the Capitol Police, Steven Sund, in an interview that was never aired on Fox, by the way — I was fired before it could air."
Sund, a police officer for over 30 years, had been head of the U.S. Capitol Police from 2019 through the protests, but resigned Jan. 7 amid claims by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and others that "there was a failure of leadership at the top."
In February 2021, Sund penned a letter to Pelosi and other congressional leaders, noting, "Perfect hindsight does not change the fact that nothing in our collective experience or our intelligence – including intelligence provided by FBI, Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and D.C. Metropolitan Police (MPD) – indicated that a well-coordinated, armed assault on the Capitol might occur on Jan. 6."
Sund further noted that during a meeting with "a dozen of the top law enforcement and military officials from D.C., including the FBI, U.S. Secret Service and the National Guard," no entity "provided any intelligence indicating that there would be a coordinated attack on the United States Capitol."
"The entire intelligence community seems to have missed this," he wrote.
Sund also intimated that the Capitol Police had been set up to fail.
