Pelosi calls for resignation of Capitol Police chief
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at a press conference on Capitol Hill Thursday, said she is calling for the resignation of the U.S. Capitol Police chief and that she has been advised that he will be submitting his resignation.
"There was a failure of leadership at the top of the Capitol Police," Pelosi said. "He hasn't even called us since this happened."
Separately, Pelosi said she has received the resignation of the House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving, who oversees the Capitol Police.
Earlier in the press conference, Pelosi formally announced that she's backing calls for Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment. And if not, Pelosi said she's prepared to impeach him again, given the "overwhelming sentiment" among her Democratic colleagues
"While there are only 13 days left, any day could be a horror show for America," Pelosi said.
