No proof Trump requested 10,000 Guard troops for Jan. 6 or that Pelosi denied it

If Your Time is short

* There is no evidence that Trump made a request for 10,000 National Guard troops to
be deployed for a rally he held that preceded the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

* There is no evidence that Pelosi denied such a request.

Two - AP FACT CHECK: Trump distorts record on National Guard in DC

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is distorting how he responded to the chaos at the Capitol this week, falsely stating that he acted immediately to bring in the National Guard.

How his statement compares with the facts:

TRUMP: “I immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders.” — video released Thursday night.

THE FACTS: That’s not at all what happened. While Trump was involved in discussions in the days prior to the Wednesday rioting about the National Guard response, he was not part of the decision-making that day. Defense officials have said they didn’t speak to Trump on Wednesday.

In addition, Trump wasn’t involved in the law enforcement decisions.

The Justice Department called the Capitol Police and offered FBI agents as the mob was descending, but the police turned down the offer. Justice called back a second time and help was accepted. Trump was not involved, according to two people familiar with the discussions who were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
