Witnesses claim they met with witnesses who met with President Trump on January 4th, where he allegedly offered 20,000 National Guard troops to protect the Capitol on January 6th, but the offer was rejected. However, Trump's acting secretary of defense, Chris Miller, testified publicly that Trump never issued an order to deploy the Guard. Kash Patel and others confirm under oath that on January 4th in the Oval Office, they heard Trump authorize up to 20,000 troops for January 6th. According to one witness, the meeting was initially focused on serious national security threats, and Trump brought up January 6th at the end, authorizing the National Guard. The request to utilize the troops never came. The witness emphasized the meeting's primary focus was a foreign threat to the U.S. and that Trump was acting as any commander-in-chief would.

The former Capitol Police chief, Stephen Sund, reveals in his new book that the Pentagon, FBI, and DHS failed on January 6th during the attack on the Capitol. Despite the federal government's extensive security network, which was designed to detect potential threats, it provided no protection on that day. Sund explains that the FBI, DHS, and his own agency were aware of the right-wing extremists' plans to attack the Capitol but failed to take action. Additionally, military leaders hesitated to send help due to political or tactical concerns. Sund warns that without proper measures, a similar incident could easily occur again.

President Trump authorized 10,000 National Guard troops before January 6th, but the request was denied by Mayor Bowser and Pelosi. Capitol Police were blamed for not calling in the Guard earlier despite intelligence about a possible attack. There are allegations of a cover-up by Pelosi and Democrats, with claims of evidence being destroyed. Witnesses testify that Trump did authorize the Guard deployment. Calls for criminal referrals for obstruction have been made.

Congress passed a law requiring the speaker to request federal resources for events like the Capitol attack. The speaker was denied twice by the House and Senate Sergeant Arms due to optics and lack of intelligence support. The speaker had to go through these individuals to request the National Guard, even during the attack. After 71 minutes and 32 calls, the speaker finally received approval. This delay is surprising considering the severity of the situation, and the speaker was frustrated by the delay.

Capitol Police Chief describes an "intelligence failure" before Jan 6: "absolutely zero with the intelligence that we know now existed talking about attacking the capital, killing my police officers, attacking members of Congress and killing members of Congress." He says "FBI DHS was swimming in that intelligence" and "the military seemed to have some very concerning intelligence as well." There was "no jib, a joint intelligence bulletin zero for January 6" and "no coordination, no discussion in advance." He notes FBI Washington field office and DHS "didn't put out a single official document specific to January 6" and cites a Senate/GAO finding of emails to Steve D’Antuano about threats he did not hear on a conference call: "Nobody from DHS was on" January 5 call. On Jan 4, Miller "puts out a memo restricting the National Guard from carrying the various weapons"—and Pelosi/McConnell allegedly blocked his request: "optics." After 12:53 attack, he makes "32 calls" over "seventy-one minutes" until "02:09" when "approval" comes. "The chain is Pelosi" and "The law says in a mercy, he can grant me authorization, but he didn't."

We discovered a previously missing interview where it was revealed that Trump heard Mark Meadows offer 10,000 troops. In January, Vanity Fair reported that Trump authorized the National Guard and told Secretary Miller to prepare them. Additionally, a White House employee present during the Capitol attack stated that Trump’s immediate response was to contact Pelosi and Milley for assistance. There are multiple records showing that Trump offered the National Guard, but the requests were declined by Pelosi and Bowser.

The discussion centers on why the National Guard was not deployed to the Capitol on the morning of January 6. The explanation given involves a two-step process for authorization: first, authorization by the commander in chief, which had been obtained, and second, a request by the local governing body, specifically the mayor and the Capitol Police Bureau. Mister Patel confirms that there was a letter from Mayor Muriel Bowser dated January 5 to the Department of Defense stating that she would not be requesting any additional National Guard troops. Consequently, they were on standby but not activated due to the mayor’s declination of the request. Speaker 0 presses the point, implying that there was an offering or possibility to deploy the National Guard that was not executed, and suggests contacting the Mayor of Washington, DC to understand other outreach to police departments. The conversation repeats that the National Guard was not initially deployed and questions why they were blocked or not prepared from the outset. Mister Patel reiterates the key facts: the authority came through the commander in chief, the local governing body had declined to request additional National Guard, and thus there was no immediate deployment. Speaker 0 takes responsibility for not having the National Guard ready, suggesting a need to prepare more in the future. The exchange emphasizes the procedural sequence—authorization, local request, and the mayor’s declination—along with implications about preparedness and the perceived blocking or absence of National Guard deployment at the outset.

Witnesses claim they met with President Trump on January 4th, and that he offered 20,000 National Guard troops to protect the Capitol on January 6th, but the offer was rejected. According to Trump's acting secretary of defense, Chris Miller, Donald Trump never issued any order to deploy the guard to protect the Capitol. Four interviewees confirm that on January 4th in the Oval Office, they heard Donald Trump authorize up to 20,000 troops, two days before January 6th. Trump authorized up to 20,000 National Guardsmen and women for utilization should the request come in, but those requests never did. This was stated under oath under the threat of a penalty of perjury. The meeting was about a foreign threat directed towards the United States. The president then brought up January 6th, and was doing exactly what a commander in chief should do.

Governor, the Virginia National Guard has been called in, but federal approval is needed for jurisdiction. There are reports of violence and chaos, allegedly instigated by the president. We discovered a previously missing interview where it was noted that Trump offered 10,000 troops for assistance on January 6. Evidence shows that when the Capitol was attacked, Trump’s immediate response was to contact Pelosi and Milley for help. However, it was Pelosi and Bowser who declined the National Guard's assistance. This situation raises concerns about potential cover-ups following January 6, and it’s crucial to uncover the truth, regardless of party affiliations. We will pursue the evidence wherever it leads.

The speaker reveals that during conference calls before the Capitol attack, no one discussed the intelligence regarding the storming of the Capitol or the potential harm to members of Congress and police officers. They mention a call on January 5th with law enforcement leaders, including the FBI and National Guard, where no one mentioned any concerns about the attack or threats. Other police chiefs, like Robert Conte, also claim they were unaware of the threats. The speaker highlights reports of emails and memos sent to the FBI and FBI director, Steve D'Antuano, predicting violence, yet nothing was mentioned during their video call. The lack of communication and awareness is perplexing.

The United States military, including Secretary of Defense Miller and General Milley, discussed locking down Washington DC due to concerns of violence at the Capitol on January 6th. They considered revoking permits for demonstrations on Capitol Hill. However, I, the one who issues these permits, was not informed. Instead, on January 4th, Miller restricted the National Guard from carrying any weapons or civil disobedience equipment that could be used during the anticipated demonstrations or violence. This decision seems contradictory, as the military expressed concern about potential violence while limiting the National Guard's ability to respond aggressively.

The speaker urgently called General Walker to request the National Guard's assistance at the Capitol. Despite the imminent danger, the speaker faced resistance from higher-ups who didn't like the optics of the National Guard's presence. The speaker pleaded for help, but was denied multiple times. Eventually, shots were fired, and the speaker had to hang up to handle the situation. The National Guard didn't arrive until 6 PM, and instead of being deployed at the Capitol, they were driven back to the DC Army. The speaker felt betrayed and questioned if there was a conspiracy against protecting the Capitol. The systematic denial of intelligence and support from various agencies led to the baffling conclusion of not protecting the capital.

President Trump's first witness, Kashyap Patel, was called to testify. He confirmed that no senior DOJ leader stated they needed more authorization from the president to deploy National Guard troops on January 6th. The reason for not having 10,000 troops guarding the Capitol was due to the need for authorization from the commander in chief and the local governing body, including the mayor and the heads of the Capitol Police. Patel's testimony was not made public, despite his request for a public hearing. The committee refused to release his transcript until the last moment. Patel believes his testimony is a key reason why President Trump was not indicted for insurrection.

The speaker explains that the handling of the event was different from previous situations. They mention that the decision was made by the intelligence agency and the military. According to a federal law, the speaker was required to request federal resources like the National Guard in advance from the Capitol Police Board. However, they were denied twice due to optics and lack of intelligence support. The decision was made by Paul Irving and Mike Stenger, who work for Pelosi and McConnell respectively.

Speaker 0: Some Republicans argue that Nancy Pelosi staged January 6 and the select committee covered it up. Based on what you know, what are the verifiable events in the lead ups? Speaker 1: I was DoD chief of staff on January 6. We deployed National Guard; in the Oval Office the president, president Trump at the time, authorized pursuant to law up to 10 to 20,000 National Guard. We took that authorization because the law's second part required a request from who? Nancy Pelosi and the Metropolitan Police and the mayor at the time. And what did they say? No. And remember what happened for the next two years? They say, Oh, Kash is lying. Trump’s lying. And what do we find? Letters of their declination of the National Guard refusing to have the National Guard show up. Nancy Pelosi and her team were busy filming a movie on January 6 while this so caused chaos around her was going down. If she had just look at it this way. If she had said yes to the National Guard and we had 10,000 uniformed military officers establish a secure perimeter, do you think January 6 would have gone differently? Speaker 0: It is intriguing that 02/1950 FBI plain clothed agents were inside the Capitol on January 6. Speaker 1: This is a great example of the president's initiative to solve all the answers on January 6, and it's another example of our transparency efforts. Pursuant to the president, we investigated the matter and found out why FBI agents were placed there in the first place. And it turns out, we found documentation and witnesses and whistleblowers that said we were forced to go there to do riot control. Armstrong, do you know what the FBI does not do ever? Riot control. Speaker 0: And you believe them? That's their word, not mine.

On that day, preparations were underway to mobilize the National Guard following a lawful request from local authorities, including the mayor of DC and the speaker of the house. Days prior, discussions in the Oval Office included the President authorizing over 20,000 National Guardsmen to secure the Capitol. The Department of Defense had approached Capitol Police multiple times about needing assistance, but those requests were often declined. The Capitol sergeant at arms, reporting to the speaker of the house, confirmed that assistance was unnecessary. Mayor Bowser also declined additional National Guard support in writing before January 6th. When asked about violence against law enforcement, the response was a clear condemnation of all such acts. Additionally, a promotion for a new immune-boosting product was mentioned, highlighting its benefits and introductory discount.

The Capitol Police faced an intelligence failure on January 6, 2021, with critical warnings about potential violence not communicated to the chief. Despite having a dedicated intelligence unit, Sund received no actionable intelligence regarding threats to Congress or police officers. Requests for National Guard assistance were denied for over 70 minutes due to concerns about optics, even as violence escalated. Other law enforcement leaders were similarly uninformed, raising questions about the handling of intelligence. Sund expressed frustration over the lack of accountability and transparency, noting that the aftermath of the event has led to significant concerns about the politicization of law enforcement and the safety of officers. Despite the challenges, he maintains a commitment to the integrity of law enforcement.

An interviewer asks if it's true that President Trump offered 20,000 National Guard troops to protect the Capitol on January 6th, but the offer was rejected. One speaker references Trump's acting secretary of defense, Chris Miller, who testified that Trump never issued an order to deploy the Guard. Two interviewees claim that on January 4th in the Oval Office, they heard Donald Trump authorize up to 20,000 troops. One speaker states that Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and President Trump were in the Oval Office discussing serious national security threats before pivoting to January 6th. Trump authorized up to 20,000 National Guard troops for use, should the request come in, but those requests never did. One interviewee clarifies the January 4th meeting was primarily about a foreign threat to the U.S. and that Trump brought up January 6th at the end of the meeting.

I requested the National Guard urgently to come to Capitol Hill. I spoke with Pentagon officials to get approval. During the call, I emphasized the urgency of the situation, but was told they didn't like the optics of having the National Guard present.

The speaker questions why the FBI didn't inform cabinet secretaries about potential threats on January 6th. They criticize the lack of security measures at the Capitol and mention offering National Guard support, which was declined. They believe better information sharing could have prevented the events. The speaker emphasizes that protecting the Capitol is a law enforcement responsibility, not a military one, and suggests cooperation between agencies. They imply political reasons for the lack of action.

The speaker's team found a previously missing interview where a witness testified that Mark Meadows offered up to 10,000 troops. The speaker cites a Vanity Fair article from early January reporting that Trump authorized Secretary Miller to ready the National Guard. A White House employee testified that Trump's immediate response upon hearing of the Capitol attack was to get Pelosi and Milley on the phone to see what help they needed. The speaker claims there is on-the-record evidence that Trump offered the National Guard, but Pelosi and Bowser turned down the offer.

Witnesses claim they met with witnesses who met with President Trump on January 4th, where he allegedly offered 20,000 National Guard troops to protect the Capitol on January 6th, but the offer was rejected. However, Trump's acting secretary of defense, Chris Miller, testified that Trump never issued an order to deploy the Guard. Kash Patel and others confirm under oath that on January 4th in the Oval Office, they heard Trump authorize up to 20,000 troops for January 6th. According to one witness, the meeting was initially about a serious foreign threat to the U.S. Trump then brought up January 6th, authorizing the National Guard. The witness stated Trump was doing what any commander in chief would do.

Kash Patel, former Pentagon chief of staff under Trump, confirms Trump authorized 10-20,000 National Guard troops before January 6th, but Capitol Police and Mayor Bowser did not request their deployment. Mayor Bowser declined National Guard support in writing. Nancy Pelosi oversees Capitol Police, who would have consulted with her before requesting National Guard assistance. Biden's DOD inspector general found no delay or obstruction by Trump administration on January 6th.

The United States military, including Secretary of Defense Miller and General Milley, discussed locking down Washington DC due to concerns of violence at the Capitol on January 6th. They considered revoking permits for demonstrations on Capitol Hill. However, I, the one who issues these permits, was not informed. Instead, on January 4th, Miller restricted the National Guard from carrying any weapons or civil disobedience equipment, which doesn't make sense. So, the military expresses worry about potential violence but simultaneously limits the National Guard's ability to take an aggressive stance.
