In a shocking revelation, former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund claimed he was kept in the dark about the presence of multiple federal agents in the crowd at the Capitol on January 6.

This startling disclosure came to light during an exclusive interview with Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host, on his independent show, Tucker on Twitter.

Sund’s candid conversation with Carlson was a result of a previously unaired interview between the two. The original interview, conducted by Fox News, never saw the light of day.

However, Carlson took it upon himself to share the new interview on X, formerly known as Twitter, on a Thursday night, sparking widespread interest and controversy.

The timing of this revelation is particularly noteworthy. It comes on the heels of former President Trump’s indictment by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on four criminal charges related to his alleged involvement on January 6.

The charges include conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Despite these serious allegations, the former president maintains his innocence, pleading not guilty during his arraignment in a Washington, D.C., court.

During the interview, Sund expressed his frustration over not being informed about intelligence gathered by various military and federal agencies prior to the riot.

He also revealed his desperate pleas for National Guard assistance, which were ignored for hours while the rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the election results.

A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released in February corroborates Sund’s claims. The report reveals that as early as January 3, 2021, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was tracking four domestic terrorists who planned to attend the riot.

By the day of the riot, the number of domestic terrorists under FBI surveillance had ballooned to 18 or 19.

Sund’s revelations raise serious questions about the government’s actions leading up to the riot. He believes that intelligence officials were aware of the impending attack but chose to withhold this crucial information.

This perceived cover-up and the subsequent pressure from Congress and the union representing the Capitol Police led to Sund’s resignation shortly after the riot.

Sund further stated stationing federal agents in a planned demonstration is standard police work. However, he found it concerning that he wasn’t informed of the FBI’s plan to do so on January 6.

“They have 18 or 19 domestic terrorists coming to this event, so of course they’re going to have resources and they’re not going to just put in one agent. You’re going to have multiple,” Sund said. “But not to share that intelligence? That’s concerning.”

This story continues to unfold, raising more questions than answers about the events leading up to January 6th. As we await further developments, one thing is clear: the truth about that fateful day is far from fully revealed.
