Trump host Steve Hilton that congressional leaders rebuffed an offer of 10,000 troops to support Capitol police over the optics of having those troops surrounding the U.S. Capitol, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-says-he-requested-10k-national-guard-troops-at-capitol-on-day-of-riot\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>White House officials approached the Department of Defense days before the Jan. 6 riot with a warning that rally crowds in Washington, D.C., may be larger than expected, according to Trump. The warning was later passed on to congressional leaders along with an offer to provide National Guard troops to support police in the area, but Trump said that congressional leaders passed on the offer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely gave the number of 10,000 National Guardsmen, and [said] I think you should have 10,000 of the National Guard ready. They took that number. From what I understand, they gave it to the people at the Capitol, which is controlled by Pelosi. And I heard they rejected it because they didn\u2019t think it would look good,\u201d Trump told Hilton. \u201cSo, you know, that was a big mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi\u2019s office denied Trump\u2019s claim. Her spokesman, Drew Hammill, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2021\/03\/02\/trump-falsely-claims-he-requested-10000-troops-rejected-by-pelosi\/\">The Washington Post<\/a> that Trump\u2019s assertion was \u201ccompletely made up.\u201d The Post also reported that a Pentagon search of their request records turned up no such official request for 10,000 National Guard troops to be stationed at the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 22, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/news\/2021\/01\/embedding-with-pentagon-leadership-in-trumps-chaotic-last-week\">Vanity Fair<\/a> reported that Trump told acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller ahead of Jan. 6 that 10,000 National Guard troops would be needed to secure the Capitol building from the expected protesters. Miller said the president never made an official request, however. As Vanity Fair reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>On the evening of January 5 \u2014 the night before a white supremacist mob stormed Capitol Hill in a siege that would leave five dead \u2014 the acting secretary of defense, Christopher Miller, was at the White House with his chief of staff, Kash Patel. They were meeting with President Trump on \u201can Iran issue,\u201d Miller told me. But then the conversation switched gears. The president, Miller recalled, asked how many troops the Pentagon planned to turn out the following day. \u201cWe\u2019re like, \u2018We\u2019re going to provide any National Guard support that the District requests,\u2019\u201d Miller responded. \u201cAnd [Trump] goes, \u2018You\u2019re going to need 10,000 people.\u2019 No, I\u2019m not talking bulls\u2014. He said that. And we\u2019re like, \u2018Maybe. But you know, someone\u2019s going to have to ask for it.\u2019\u201d At that point Miller remembered the president telling him, \u201c\u2018You do what you need to do. You do what you need to do.\u2019 He said, \u2018You\u2019re going to need 10,000.\u2019 That\u2019s what he said. Swear to God.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
