Looks like new evidence has dropped that Trump did indeed ask for the National Guard to be deployed to ensure things remained peaceful and it was ignored by those at the Pentagon.
"Previously concealed by the Biden-Harris Administration’s Department of Defense, the Subcommittee has uncovered statements by key personnel involved in the deployment of the D.C. National Guard to the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. These new transcripts indicate that senior Pentagon officials unnecessarily delayed the DC National Guard response to the Capitol on January 6 due to “optics” concerns."
"GENERAL MARK MILLEY, CHAIRMAN, JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF:
“[January 3, 2021] The President just says, ‘Hey, look at this. There’s going to be a large amount of protesters here on the 6th, make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it’s a
safe event.’” *
“[POTUS said] ‘Hey, I don’t care if you use Guard, or Soldiers, active duty Soldiers, do whatever you have
to do. Just make sure it’s safe.’”
