Trumps claim has been entirely debunked.

Statements from the Pentagon and testimony from the former House sergeant-at-arms show Trump did not request 10,000 troops ahead of the rally. The speaker of the House does not even have the power to reject that type of request.

Pelosi is not in charge of Capitol security. The Capitol Police are overseen by the Capitol Police Board and committees from the Senate and House of Representatives.

The claim does not even make common sense.
Why would you need 10,000 National Guardsmen for a peaceful rally, where people hear speeches and carry signs and then go home?
