Pentagon to extend National Guard troops at US Capitol
Fox News
Defense officials said Tuesday they plan to approve the extension of National Guard troops stationed at the U.S. Capitol for another two months.
Fox News confirmed that roughly 1,700 guardsmen will continue to serve at the Capitol – a security force reduced from the 5,000 troops currently deployed in Washington, D.C. Following the Jan. 6 attack by pro-Trump supporters at the Capitol that resulted in the death of five people, 25,000 National Guardsmen were deployed to Washington to provide increased security through President Biden’s inauguration.More Related News
