Gradually it comes out that Trump asked for troops at the Capitol, so that things would be safe on January 6.
Bombshell Transcripts Reveal Trump, in Fact, Ordered National Guard for January 6th — General Milley Confirms Trump Urges Top Pentagon Officials to Deploy’ Guard, or Soldiers, Active Duty Soldiers’
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/bombshell-transcripts-trump-fact-ordered-national-guard-january/A groundbreaking report from Steve Baker has unveiled crucial transcripts proving that President Donald Trump did indeed request National Guard deployment to ensure a peaceful protest on January 6th, 2021.
These newly surfaced transcripts, which were previously concealed, reveal the truth that many in the mainstream media have ignored.
According to the documents, General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, confirmed that President Trump expressed concern about the potential for unrest and proactively ordered the necessary precautions.
On January 3, 2021, just three days before the protest, General Milley recalled the president saying, "Hey, look at this. There's going to be a large amount of protesters here on the 6th. Make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it's a safe event."
Trump reportedly added, "I don't care if you use Guard, or Soldiers, active duty Soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it's safe."
These damning revelations fly in the face of the narrative propagated by the mainstream media and Democrats who have continuously blamed Trump for the chaos that unfolded on January 6th. The president's clear directive to deploy the National Guard days before the event highlights his intentions to maintain law and order during the protest.
The transcripts also reveal that other Pentagon officials failed to act on Trump's requests. Chief Steven Sund of the U.S. Capitol Police made an urgent plea for the National Guard on January 6th.
However, according to Sund, the Secretary of the Army's representative denied the request, citing concerns about the "optics" of having National Guard troops stationed at the Capitol. This hesitation contributed to the delayed response, exacerbating the situation.
Further complicating matters, Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller acknowledged that Trump had commented on the need for 10,000 troops to ensure security. However, Miller dismissed the president's request as mere "banter."
