J6 Bombshell: Trump Didn’t Just Offer Military to Protect Capitol, He Ordered It but Was Disobeyed
On the eve of former President Donald Trump’s return to power, a new report is turning the story of the 2021 Capitol incursion on its head.
For four years, a Democratic-run “select” committee on Jan. 6, anti-Trump Republicans, and the establishment media have blamed Trump for the violence in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, but the report released Tuesday accused Trump’s acting defense secretary at the time, Christopher Miller, of defying Trump’s specific orders.
It’s the very first finding of the report, and it paints a scathing picture of Nancy Pelosi’s “select” committee — and former Rep. Liz Cheney’s role in the whole affair.

The report, “On the Failures and Politicization of the January 6 Select Committee,” cited transcripts from interviews conducted by the Department of Defense Inspector General into the events surrounding the incursion.
In an interview with the IG, former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley, a now-retired Army general, described Trump’s words at a Jan. 3, 2021, meeting to prepare for the meeting of Congress to certify the results of the still-disputed 2020 election.
Milley summed up Trump’s statement as:
“Hey, I don’t care if you use Guard, or soldiers, active-duty soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe.”
To most Americans, that would sound like an order from a commander in chief to his subordinate, but Miller told Nancy Pelosi’s rigged Jan. 6 Committee that he chose to consider it “banter,” the report noted on page 69.
In fact, he told the IG interviewers, according to page 68 of the report: “There was absolutely — there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. Military forces at the Capitol.”
