Newly released video HBO provided to congressional investigators shows former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claiming responsibility for the lack of police preparedness on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C., while she was fleeing the Capitol.

The video, shot by Pelosi's daughter Alexandra, shows an irate Pelosi complaining about a lack of accountability for the incident.

"We have responsibility, Terry! We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous!" Pelosi exclaimed.

She then expressed contempt for what she appeared to feel was a late request for National Guard troops to help quell the situation.

"You're gonna ask me in the middle of the thing, when they've already breached the inaugural stuff, 'should we call the Capitol Police?' I mean the National Guard. Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with?"

"They thought that they had sufficient resources …" her Chief of Staff Terri McCullough answered, before Pelosi interjected.

"It's not a question of how they had … they don't know! They clearly didn't know, and I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more," Pelosi concluded.

HBO released 45 minutes of footage to congressional investigators after a House Administration subcommittee requested it, according to Politico.
