A leaked interview between ex-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson revealed that Sund believed officials were aware of the January 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection before it happened and covered it up.
Right-wing news company The National Pulse leaked the interview, which was never aired by Fox. The previously unseen footage came after former president Donald Trump was saddled with four criminal charges regarding his alleged involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. An indictment released on Tuesday said that Trump « was determined to remain in power » following his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden. He has been charged with 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.
Trump continues to deny any wrongdoing.
The actions, or lack thereof, taken by the government leading up to the January 6, 2021, riot led Sund to believe that intelligence officials in power were aware of the attack in advance and covered it up by failing to disseminate the information to those who needed it.
