President Donald Trump is expected to speak from The White House at 6:30 p.m. ET.

President Donald Trump may invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act which would allow him to deploy active-duty troops to cities across the country in response to protests sparked by the death of George Floyd. That's according to NBC News, citing four people familiar with the decision.

ABC News (1) is separately reporting that active duty Army police units from Fort Bragg, NC, will be deployed Monday night to Washington, D.C.

According to NBC News, the troops would be allowed to conduct law enforcement missions. Before that can happen, Trump would have to "immediately order the insurgents to disperse and retire peacefully to their abodes within a limited time," the law states.

Maybe we should start a pool as to what time he really speaks.
Damn, does that mean that I'll miss Jeopardy?
