General: Pentagon hesitated on sending Guard to Capitol riot
By ERIC TUCKER and MARY CLARE JALONICKMarch 3, 2021
WASHINGTON (AP) ā Defense Department leaders placed unusual restrictions on the National Guard for the day of the Capitol riot and delayed sending help for hours despite an urgent plea from police for reinforcement, according to testimony Wednesday that added to the finger-pointing about the government response.
Maj. Gen. William Walker, commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard, told senators that the then-chief of the Capitol Police requested military support in a āvoice cracking with emotionā in a 1:49 p.m. call as rioters began pushing toward the Capitol...

DC Guard chief details Pentagon delays during Jan. 6 riot at Capitol
Walker calls restrictions on his ability to deploy his force āunusualā
Scores of District of Columbia National Guardsmen loaded on buses at the Washington Armory and were ready to deploy as pro-Trump rioters breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, but minutes turned into hours as they awaited permission from the Pentagon to move out.
Maj. Gen. William J. Walker, the commander of the D.C. National Guard, told lawmakers Wednesday that written instructions issued ahead of the insurrection from then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy limited his ability to deploy his troops where, as a commander, he felt they were needed.
On Jan. 6, Walker and top officials from the U.S. Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department pleaded for permission to send the National Guard to help secure the Capitol during a phone call around 2:22 p.m. with defense officials. But Walker said he didnāt receive the go-ahead to send his troops to the Capitol until just after 5 p.m.
Because the District of Columbia is not a state and thus does not have a governor, the president is the commander in chief of the D.C. National Guard. The chain of command runs down to the Defense secretary and the Army secretary.
āUnusualā restrictions
McCarthyās written instructions from Jan. 5 required Walker to seek specific permission to deploy a 40-member quick reaction team. McCarthy also required Walker to send him a āconcept of operationā before that team could be used.
āBased on the Defense Departmentās public timeline, once requested, it took the National Guard over three hours to arrive at the Capitol. Now remember, we were all watching this on CNN, and Fox and MSNBC, and itās a riot,ā the Ohio Republican said. āWe need to know why the Pentagon took so long to deploy the National Guard.ā
DC Guard chief details Pentagon delays during Jan. 6 riot at Capitol

pleosi is the leader who stopped it and they went along with her.& now for the truth:
IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT
See the sources for this fact-check
- Capitol security is not solely the responsibility of the House speaker. It is provided by the sergeants-at-arms of the House and Senate, and by the Capitol Police.
- The House sergeant-at-arms reports to the House speaker, or Pelosi at the time of the attack. The Senate sergeant-at-arms reports to the Senate majority leader ā on Jan. 6, Sen. Mitch McConnell.
- News reports indicate that in the days before the attack, House sergeant-at-arms Paul Irving resisted calls from the Capitol Police to bring in the National Guard for extra security at the Capitol because of āoptics.ā Irving later testified that intelligence reports didnāt show the need for the extra security, not that he rejected it because of optics.
PolitiFact - No, Capitol security is not only Pelosiās responsibility, but she bears some
The Facts
There are three key players here: Steven A. Sund, the U.S. Capitol Police chief; Paul D. Irving, the House sergeant-at-arms, and Michael C. Stenger, the Senate sergeant-at-arms. All three resigned under pressure after the Jan. 6 insurrection.
ree key players here: Steven A. Sund, the U.S. Capitol Police chief; Paul D. Irving, the House sergeant-at-arms, and Michael C. Stenger, the Senate sergeant-at-arms. All three resigned under pressure after the Jan. 6 insurrection.
In a Feb. 1 letter to Pelosi, Sund wrote he āapproached the two Sergeants at Arms to request the assistance of the National Guard, as I had no authority to do so without an Emergency Declaration by the Capitol Police Board (CPB).ā He said he spoke first to Irving, who āstated that he was concerned about the āopticsā and didnāt feel that the intelligence supported it.ā Irving suggested Sund check in with Stenger, at the time chair of the CPB and get his thoughts. āInstead of approving the use of the National Guard, however, Mr. Stenger suggested I ask them how quickly we could get support if needed and to ālean forwardā in case we had to request assistance on January 6,ā Sund wrote.
Sund said he then contacted Gen. William Walker, commanding officer of the D.C. National Guard. Walker āadvised that he could repurpose 125 National Guard and have them to me fairly quickly, once approved. I asked General Walker to be prepared in the event that we requested them.ā

Fact check: Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. 6

Fact check: Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. 6
Pelosi did not block the National Guard from the Capitol on Jan. 6
By ARIJETA LAJKAJuly 23, 2021
CLAIM: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blocked the National Guard from coming to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
APāS ASSESSMENT: False. As Speaker of the House, Pelosi does not direct the National Guard. Further, as the Capitol came under attack, she and the Senate Majority leader called for military assistance, including the National Guard.
THE FACTS: On Tuesday, a false claim about the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol resurfaced suggesting that Pelosi blocked the National Guard from coming to lawmakersā defense during the insurrection at the Capitol.
ā@SpeakerPelosi, why did you block the National Guard from protecting the Capitol?ā Indiana Rep. Jim Banks tweeted.
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy posed a similar question on Fox News saying, āWas there a decision by the Speaker not to have the National Guard at the Capitol that day?ā
The answer is no.
āOn January 6th, the Speaker, a target of an assassination attempt that day, was no more in charge of Capitol security than Mitch McConnell was. This is a clear attempt to whitewash what happened on January 6th and divert blame,ā Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Pelosi told The Associated Press in an email.
The decision on whether to call National Guard troops to the Capitol is made by what is known as the Capitol Police Board, which is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol. The board decided not to call the guard ahead of the insurrection but did eventually request assistance after the rioting had already begun, and the troops arrived several hours later.
The House Sergeant at Arms reports to Pelosi and the Senate Sergeant at Arms reported to McConnell, a Republican who was then Senate Majority Leader. There is no evidence that either directed the security officials not to call the guard beforehand, and Hammill said after the insurrection that Pelosi was never informed of such a request.
The officials on the board, along with the former Capitol Police chief, Steven Sund, have disputed each othersā accounts of who requested the guard when. Both Sergeants of Arms and the police chief resigned immediately after the attack.
Once Trumpās supporters were assaulting police and breaking into the building, Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer appealed to military leaders, asking the Army to deploy the National Guard.
āThe Speaker believes security officials should make security decisions. The Speaker immediately signaled her support for the deployment of the National Guard when she was presented with that recommendation on the afternoon of January 6th. Public testimony confirms the fact that the Speaker was not made aware of any request for such a deployment prior to then,ā Hammill said in a statement this week.
Republicans have falsely laid the blame on Pelosi without mentioning that GOP Leader McConnell had similar authority over the security officials that day. But there is no evidence that either was involved in any effort to block the National Guard before or during the insurrection.

Pelosi did not block the National Guard from the Capitol on Jan. 6
Can the president order the National Guard?
The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law that empowers the President of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, or rebellion. ~ wiki
