Roughly 50 minutes footage that wasn't included in Alexandra Pelosi's HBO documentary Pelosi In the House, about her mother, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, has been turned over to the House Administration Committee.
Led by GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, the panel is embarking on a new investigation into the 2021 Capitol insurrection, including looking into the Democratic-led Select Committee’s actions from the last Congress and the security failures from that day.
Loudermilk, a Trump loyalist, has alleged that the former January 6th committee "withheld" witness transcripts from the public that "undercut some of their most explosive claims" about the insurrection.
Trump loyalists have tried to pin the day's security failures on Speaker Pelosi, who is depicted in the documentary as furiously angry at Trump for not taking better precautions.
In the newly-released footage, Speaker Pelosi says of Trump: “I just feel sick about what he did to the Capitol and the country today,” and that “he’s got to pay a price for that.”
In a conversation with her staff the next morning, Pelosi is shown asking for a list of Trump’s cabinet members so she might call on them to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. She adds that she was going to describe Trump as “a domestic enemy in the White House” in a statement.
“Let’s not mince words about this,” she says.
The Speaker's anger was tempered by her worry for the safety of those still in the building. Famously, she spoke with Vice President Mike Pence to make sure he was out of harm's way.
