Trump says he asked for Nat’l Guard ahead of Jan 6.
Former United States President Donald Trump said he had authorized National Guard’s deployment to the Capitol ahead of the January 6 incident, but that the request was denied by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
In a Fox News interview, the former head of state claimed he had asked for ten to twenty thousand soldiers or National Guard troops to protect the building amid protests.
On January 6 last year, a group of Trump supporters breached the Capitol building while Congress was in session, which he was accused of inciting in order to stop lawmakers from affirming election results.
