Original Note:
President Trump did not request deployment of the US National Guard ahead of January 6, 2021. 10,000 troops was a guestimate by Trump for how many USNG troops would be readied for his rally, which DoD did not act on as it did not regard the remark to be 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/
