Trump's Defense Secretary re: Trump's Dereliction Of Duty - "There Was No Order"

[kpete]

New: Former Trump acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller testified to Jan. 6 committee “there was no order” from Trump to have 10,000 troops on the ready for January 6, debunking what Meadows claimed on Fox News.

To remove any doubt: Not only did Donald Trump fail to contact his Secretary of Defense on January 6th (as shown in our hearing), Trump also failed to give any order prior to January 6 to deploy the military to protect the Capitol.

Here is Secretary Miller’s testimony—

JAN. 6 CMTE: To be crystal clear, there was no direct order from President Trump to put 10,000 troops to be on the ready for Jan. 6, correct?

MILLER: No, yeah, that's correct. There was no direct— there was no order from the president.

1. That memo was from days before January 6

After Pence illegally ordered the mobilization of the guard, many of those restrictions were removed. By the time they were deployed, the insurrectionists had left the Capitol.
