Original Note:
Mr. Trump did not request that "10,000 National Guards be sent to the capitol", he instead used that number as a "guesstimate" for acting defense secretary Christopher Miller who didn't regard it as a "direct order". https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-trump-order-national-guard-156055113284 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/12/15/no-trump-did-not-order-10000-troops-secure-capitol-jan-6/ Trump later "chose not to act" during the attack. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jul/21/january-6-hearing-donald-trump-us-capitol-attack
