January 6 was preventable. Courage Under Fire: The Definitive Account from Inside the Capitol on January 6th by Steven A. Sund Amazon: a.co/d/b1TpETM
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 Today, we celebrate the birth of the greatest nation on Earth. Thank you to all the first responders and military personnel who are working today to help keep us safe! God Bless America!
Eight years ago today, I responded as a gunman opened fire on Republican members of Congress. Last year, President Trump was nearly assassinated. Today, two sitting Democratic lawmakers were shot in their homes — one is dead. This is what happens when leaders glorify violence,…
Two Minnesota state lawmakers were targeted in overnight shootings. A search for the suspect is ongoing cnn.it/4n7DC6O
FACT: On January 6, I was restricted by Federal Law (2US1970) from bringing in ANY federal support, including the National Guard, without first receiving permission from the Capitol Police Board, which included both Sergeants at Arms who reported to Pelosi and McConnell.…
.@SpeakerPelosi: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."
FACT: On January 3, I made multiple requests for the assistance of the National Guard to help secure the Capitol on January 6 and was DENIED each time, leaving us underprepared for the attack. @realDonaldTrump @PressSec @bennyjohnson
FACT: I made 11 urgent calls requesting National Guard support on Jan 6, starting at 12:58 PM. Approval was withheld for 71 minutes by the House Sergeant at Arms, who reported directly to Speaker Pelosi. She caused critical delays, and now is shifting blame to @realDonaldTrump…

Everyone has someone who shaped them. For me, it was my father—a USAF B-52 pilot who inspired my call to service. He rests at Arlington, among heroes who gave everything. This #MemorialDay, we remember them—and we say thank you. 🇺🇸 #HonorThem #Veterans
After decades in law enforcement in Washington, D.C., I’ve seen this city face many challenges. But the targeted assassination of two Israeli Embassy employees is a horrifying act of political violence — and a dangerous escalation. Reckless rhetoric from political figures is…
I am on the scene of the horrible shooting outside the Washington, DC Capital Jewish Museum with @USAttyPirro. Praying for the victims of this violence as we work to learn more.
Just watched the interview with @MariaBartiromo — thank you Director, @FBIDirectorKash, and Deputy Director @FBIDDBongino for your relentless pursuit of the truth about J6. I’ve fought to share the facts from Day One — through my testimony, evidence, and writings. I offered to…
Saddened to hear of the passing of Pope Francis. Honored to have supported the USSS and helped ensure his safety during his unforgettable 2015 visit to Washington, D.C.
Today marks four years since the loss of Officer William “Billy” Evans. On April 2, 2021, Billy was killed when a deranged individual intentionally rammed a vehicle into the north barricade of the Capitol, striking him and another officer. We remember Billy not only for how he…
Tonight, 60 Minutes will feature Frank Larkin, a friend, former Navy SEAL, and U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms, as he shares his powerful story about the devastating impact of repeated head trauma and traumatic brain injury (TBI)—a crisis affecting our nation’s warriors and first…
I’ve supported the @SecretService on many presidential details and motorcades throughout my career—but I NEVER imagined seeing The Beast taking laps at Daytona! 🇺🇸🏁
Ten years ago today, I had the honor of attending the memorial service at the French National Police Headquarters in Paris for three brave officers—Ahmed Merabet, Franck Brinsolaro, and Clarissa Jean-Philippe—murdered by Islamist terrorists during the Charlie Hebdo attacks. The…
Thank you @Brad7News for the opportunity to speak about Jan 6. wjla.com/news/local/us-…
Thankful for the smooth election certification at the Capitol today. J6 exposed the catastrophic failure of allowing politics to override security decisions and policies. I will always be appreciative of the efforts of the men and women of the USCP and the law enforcement…
Jimmy Carter was a very gracious person. The first presidential security detail I ever supported alongside the Secret Service was in 1992, when President Carter came to the 6th Police District in Washington, DC, to build a Habitat for Humanity home. I was a rookie MPD police…
