The Democrat-run House Jan. 6 committee suppressed testimony about President Trump pushing for National Guard troops to protect the U.S. Capitol on the day of the riot.

According to the transcript, a Jan. 6 committee staffer asked Mr. Ornato, “When it comes to the
National Guard statement about having 10,000 troops or any other number of troops, do you recall any discussion prior to the 6th about whether and how many
National Guard troops to deploy on Jan. 6?”
Mr. Ornato said he remembered a conversation between
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.
“He was on the phone with her and wanted to make sure she had everything that she needed,” he said. “I remember the number 10,000 coming up, you know, ‘The president wants to make sure that you have enough.’ You know, ‘He is willing to ask for 10,000.’”
Mr. Ornato said that Ms. Bowser replied she was all set and already had about 350 guardsmen for intersection control, which is not a law enforcement capacity.
Ms. Bowser ultimately rejected Mr. Trump’s offer for 10,000 National Guard troops and asked for only several hundred to serve in a limited role.
