A former Capitol Police chief plans to tell a House subcommittee Tuesday that Congress should give the position more power to request help from federal law enforcement agencies.
The House Administration Committee’s oversight panel has set a meeting to hear testimony from Steven A. Sund, who resigned from the department’s top spot shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
In prepared remarks, Sund recounts how he waited over an hour for the Capitol Police Board to approve his request for the National Guard as the Capitol was under siege in 2021.
