The morning after the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was clear: She wanted attention to be on getting Donald Trump out of office.
While in the car on her way to the Capitol, Pelosi’s senior aide, Drew Hammill, was reading the speaker a draft of her opening remarks over the phone, including a call for the resignation of Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund. Pelosi stopped him. “I think our focus has to be on the president. Let’s not divert ourselves,” Pelosi said, according to documentary footage shot by her daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, which was turned over to Congress by HBO and obtained by CNN.
“I just feel sick what he did to the Capitol and to the country today,” Pelosi says when asked how she felt to be done with Trump. “He’s gotta pay a price for that.” The footage also gives an extended look at Pelosi’s frantic evacuation from the US Capitol to Fort McNair with other Democratic leaders and builds on previous footage that shows how congressional leaders attempted to quell the insurrection and finish certifying the 2020 election on January 6.
