Sund writes that top leaders from the FBI, DHS and even the Capitol Police's own intelligence division were tipped off about the attack weeks before it happened. But those warnings were never shared with him.

Sund also details failures to respond to the violence in real time, including a conference call shortly after rioters breached the Capitol where Pentagon leaders allegedly refused to deploy National Guard troops to the scene.

According to the Post, Sund writes that Lieutenant General Walter Pye told him he didn't like the optics of sending uniformed Guard troops to the Capitol, but could allow them to replace police officers at roadside checkpoints.

Sund says he later learned that at the same time Pentagon leaders were rushing to send security teams to protect the homes of military officials, none of which were under attack.

Sund, who resigned the day after the riot at the request of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, also warns that many of the same internal failures that allowed the insurrection to take place have not been fixed today.
