Transcripts Show President Trump's Directives to Pentagon Leadership to "Keep January 6 Safe" Were Deliberately Ignored
September 20, 2024

WASHINGTON - Committee on House Administration's Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) revealed 
that days before January 6, 2021, President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders urging them to do their jobs to 
protect lives and property. The transcripts released show Trump gave senior Pentagon leadership directives to keep 
January 6 peaceful - including using the National Guard - which the Pentagon leaders ignored. This revelation directly 
contradicts the conclusions drawn in the flawed DoD IG report on January 6, 2021.

In response to these revelations, Chairman Loudermilk released the following statement:

"Pentagon leadership prioritized concerns of optics over their duty to protect lives," said Chairman Loudermilk. 
"President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders and directed them to make sure any events on January 6, 2021 were 
safe. It is very concerning that these Senior Pentagon officials ignored President Trump's guidance AND misled 
Congressional Leaders to believe they were doing their job, when they were not. The DoD IG's report is fundamentally 
flawed. It does not draw conclusions from the interviews they conducted, but pushes a narrative to keep their hands 
clean. We have many questions for them, and we will continue to dig until we are satisfied the American people know the 
truth."

See below for a full breakdown of the Pentagon leaders' choices to ignore President Trump's directives.

Days before January 6, 2021, President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders urging them to do their jobs to protect 
lives and property. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley, recalls a conversation between the Acting Secretary of 
Defense Chris Miller, and President Trump:

Milley: "The President just says, 'Hey, look at this. There's going to be a large amount of protesters here on the 6th, 
make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it's a safe event.'...  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.'  Miller responds 
by saying, 'Hey, we've got a plan, and we've got it covered.'"

On January 5, the Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, placed unprecedented restrictions on DCNG Commander Major 
General William Walker to prevent any movement to the Capitol without Secretary McCarthy's explicit permission on 
January 6 and 7. 

On January 6, 2021, the outer perimeter on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol was breached by rioters at 12:53pm. The 
DCNG arrived five hours later. Click here to view the timeline.

These transcripts prove President Trump's senior Pentagon leaders were focused on OPTICS, instead of doing their job, 
as the Capitol was breached:
 
Miller: "There was absolutely - there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol, period." 
 
Director of the Army Staff, Lieutenant General Walter Piatt: "Was optics a concern for us as we prepared to use 
soldiers downtown in Washington D.C? Absolutely."

As "optics" concerns were being discussed and Secretary McCarthy claims he was 'developing a plan', the DCNG was ready 
to move, less than 2 miles from the Capitol - awaiting Secretary McCarthy's authorization.
 
Walker's General Counsel, Colonel Earl Matthews: "We were seeing the Congress of the United States being overrun, and 
the Guard - and the Capitol Police, the MPD, they need help. We had people at the D.C. Armory who are able to help, and 
they're not moving. They're not allowed to move." 
 
DCNG Command Sergeant Major Michael Brooks: "They were ready to go, and they just couldn't understand why they were 
still sitting there. Literally sitting on a bus, just waiting to drive to the Capitol and do the best they could do to 
support Capitol Police."

At 3:04pm, Miller provided verbal approval to Secretary McCarthy for immediate deployment of the DCNG. What was 
Secretary McCarthy doing between receiving this approval, and 5:08pm, when the order eventually reaches the D.C. 
National Guard? Why didn't he communicate this approval for a full two hours?
 
At 3:18pm, Secretary McCarthy told Congressional Democrat Leadership that the DC National Guard had the "green light" 
and "is moving". Two hours would pass before Secretary McCarthy's deployment order would ACTUALLY be communicated to 
the DCNG.
 
In these vital hours, the DCNG had been trying but was unable to reach Secretary McCarthy.
 
DCNG Adjutant General Aaron Dean: " tried to call Secretary McCarthy three times between 2:30 and 5pm. He said, 'I 
haven't heard from him all day.' When he tried to call his cell phone, it went straight to voicemail."

"This is the most election of our lifetime."

I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been. You know?

What can be unburdened by what has been.

There are those who are unable to see what can be.

But there are many more who are able to see what can be unburdened by what has been.

Remember Venn diagrams, those three circles? Right.

And then let's just see where they overlap.

You will not be surprised because I have constructed a Venn diagram on this. 

Remember those three circles, how they overlap?

I love Venn diagrams. So, I just do.

Whenever you're dealing with conflict, pull out a Venn diagram. Right?

And so, you know, the three circles.

Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is 
a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that's wrong.

"We invested an additional $12 billion into community banks, because we know community banks are in the community, and 
understand the needs and desires of that community as well as the talent and capacity of community."

"We also recognize just as it has been in the United States, for Jamaica, one of the issues that has been presented as 
an issue that is economic in the way of its impact has been the pandemic. So to that end, we are announcing today also 
that we will assist Jamaica in COVID recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery efforts in Jamaica that have been 
essential to, I believe, what is necessary to strengthen not only the issue of public health but also the economy."

"It's time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day."

"I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe 
that certain issues are just settled. Certain issues are just settled."
