As Capitol police became overpowered on Jan. 6, the Pentagon sent security to the homes of military leaders, per the former Capitol police chief

The man who was in charge of the Capitol Police during the January 6 attack said that the country is not prepared for another terror attack.

In his new book "Courage Under Fire," the police department's former Chief Steven Sund claimed there was a lack of communication and a neglectful response from federal agencies.

The Washington Post reported that the Capitol was attacked in an attempt to stop the certification of the election.

According to the Post, the security and information-sharing policies and mandates put in place after September 11 failed miserably.

The Pentagon sent teams to protect military leaders in their homes while a desperate Sund requested aid back at the Capitol as his department fought to protect hundreds of lawmakers and their staff. After the building was clear, the military didn't come for three hours.

He wrote that the Pentagon understood the seriousness of the situation even as it did not support us on the Hill. The fight at the Capitol has been broadcasted around the world.

There is a shooting inside the Capitol. The next three levels of succession to the president of the United States have had to be secured. The military has done nothing to help end this.

According to the Post, he said that the national security agencies did not give him notice of the seriousness of the threats they had known about, and that politics often take priority over security within the Capitol Police.

New documents from the final report were released by the committee.
