J6 they weren't federalized, therefore He can not deploy them.When the D.C. National Guard is called to federal service, the U.S. President serves as Commander-in-Chief.
Not true, NG troops can only be deployed by Governor's in their respective states. DC isn't a state nor does it have a Governor.Of course he does. It's the only National Guard he commands. State Governors control all the other.
Trump doesn't have the constitutional authority to deploy NG in DC......only if federalized under the insurrection act.
The president can only authorize troops to be activated to duty. He has no authority to deploy them in DC .
