Former U.S. Capitol Police chief signs Jan. 6 book deal

The chief of the U.S. Capitol Police during the Jan. 6 siege has a book deal. Steven A. Sund’s “Courage Under Fire: Under Siege and Outnumbered 58 to 1 on January 6” will come out Jan. 3, just shy of the twoyear anniversary of the riot.

“It’s time to break my silence and reveal everything that I know happened,” Sund said in a statement released Monday by Blackstone Publishing.

Sund resigned under pressure soon after Jan. 6. He said the overrunning of the U.S. Capitol was the result of widespread failures.
