Wed Sep 25 04:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Pentagon’s Delay in Deploying National Guard on January 6th Was a Calculated Betrayal, Not Trump’s Fault: New Evidence Emerges

**Washington D.C.** – New evidence suggests that the delay in deploying the National Guard on January 6th, 2021, was not due to Trump’s inaction, as previously claimed, but rather a deliberate act by the Pentagon leadership, motivated by a desire to see Trump fail. This revelation comes from a trove of documents and testimonies uncovered by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, Chairman of the House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight.

According to Loudermilk, President Trump repeatedly requested the deployment of National Guard troops to ensure the safety of the Capitol on January 6th, even offering 10,000 troops. However, Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, influenced by a “clique” of officers led by Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, chose to ignore Trump’s requests, prioritizing “optics” over the safety of the Capitol and the American people.

The Pentagon’s decision was likely influenced by a prevailing narrative within the military leadership that Trump was a threat to democracy and could potentially attempt a military coup. This narrative, fueled by the media and certain elements within the intelligence community, created an atmosphere of paranoia and suspicion, leading Miller to hesitate in deploying the National Guard even as the Capitol was being breached.

This new evidence contradicts the narrative pushed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who repeatedly claimed that Trump refused to send the National Guard during the riot. Pelosi’s claim was part of a larger effort to demonize Trump and his supporters, portraying the events of January 6th as a “violent insurrection” orchestrated by the former President.

The delay in deploying the National Guard, however, was a direct result of the Pentagon’s deliberate inaction, not Trump’s. The new evidence paints a stark picture of a military leadership that chose to betray a sitting president, prioritizing its own political agenda over the safety of the nation.
