President Donald Trump has confirmed he requested 10000 National Guard troops near the Capitol days before the deadly riots on January 6th, only to be rejected by authorities.

Trump requested 10000 National Guard troops
Trump told “The Next Revolution With Steve Hilton” that his team notified the Department of Defense days before the rally that crowds might be larger than expected and 10000 national guard troops should be ready to take a position. He said the warning was forwarded to leaders at the Capitol, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi but these leaders rejected the request because they did not like the sight of 10,000 troops at the Capitol.
