To Ari Melber: 10,000 national guard troops 'WERE NOT ORDERED BY TRUMP'

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.

Asked in an interview about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, former President Donald Trump claimed that he had made a request for 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed for the rally he led that preceded the attack, and that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected it.

His claim was widely repeated on social media.
