Original Note:
Trump issued a "direct order" to have up to 10,000 troops ready. Kash Patel suggested 20k troops so Trump upped it to 20k. The request was denied by Mayor Bowser & Speaker Pelosi on 1/5. Both Chris Miller and Steven Sund confirmed that the troops were requested. https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2023/05/11/fact-check-kaitlin-collins-claims-trump-never-ordered-national-guard-before-jan-6/ https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/live-kash-patel-on-jan-6-timeline-trump-authorized-20000-national-guardsmen-two-days-before-4523407
