Newly released footage shows Pelosi threatening to punch Trump during US Capitol riots on Jan. 6

Newly released footage shows Nancy Pelosi threatening to punch President Donald Trump in the midst of the riots at the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The video portrays how congressional leaders fled the Capitol and transformed a nearby military base into a command center. There, they coordinated with Vice President Pence and Trump cabinet members to quell the insurrection and finish certifying the 2020 election.

Terri McCullough / Chief of Staff For House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "The service said they have dissuaded him from coming to Capitol Hill. They told him they don't have the resources to protect him here. So at the moment he is not coming. But that could change."

US Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi: "I hope he comes. I'm gonna punch him out--I've been waiting for this -- for trespassing on the Capitol Grounds. I'm going to punch him out and I'm gonna go to jail and I'm gonna be happy."
