short by Athira Sasidharan / on Friday, 8 January, 2021
US Capitol Police chief Steven Sund has resigned after he faced criticism for failing to prevent President Donald Trump's supporters from storming into the building. Sund's resignation will be effective from January 16. The announcement came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer called for his resignation and said that he'd be fired if he didn't quit.
