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.
