House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has responded to a request from a group of House Republicans to explain decisions in regards to Capitol security before and on the day of the Capitol breach. She said on Monday they are attempting to “deflect responsibility for the Capitol attack from Donald Trump.”

Reps. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Administration; Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee; James Comer (R-Ky.), the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform; and Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the senior Republican on the House Select Committee on Intelligence all signed the letter.
