Trump says he requested 10K National Guard troops at Capitol on day of riot
Fox News
Former President Trump told Fox News late Sunday that he expressed concern over the crowd size near the Capitol days before the deadly riots last month and personally requested 10,000 National Guard troops be deployed.
Trump told "The Next Revolution With Steve Hilton" that his team alerted the Department of Defense days before the rally that crowds might be larger than anticipated and 10,000 national guardsmen should be ready to deploy. He said that-- from what he understands-- the warning was passed along to leaders at the Capitol, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi-- and he heard that the request was rejected because these leaders did not like the optics of 10,000 troops at the Capitol. "So, you know, that was a big mistake," he said.
