Trump lies again that Nancy Pelosi refused National Guard help for January 6

Repeating a claim debunked a year ago, Donald Trump insisted again this week that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had rejected the help of the National Guard last January 6. Fox News host Sean Hannity asked the former President Thursday night if he had "authorized" the Guard to protect the Capitol building "in the lead-up" to January 6, 2021. Trump responded: “One hundred percent, and attested to by many people. Nancy Pelosi turned it down, and she’s in charge of the Capitol. If not for those Democrats, you would not have had any problem. It would have just been absolutely a lovely day.”
Trump first falsely claimed nearly a year ago that Pelosi rejected an offer of 10,000 National Guard troops and he has repeated that in speeches. Trump did not make a request for National Guard troops to secure the Capitol that day, according to Pentagon spokesman John Kirby. “We have no record of such an order being given,” he told
