During a recent interview with NBC's Meet the Press host Kristen Welker, former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump blamed former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for turning down 10,000 soldiers ahead of the Capitol Riot on January 6th.

"Nancy Pelosi was in charge of security. She turned down 10,000 soldiers. If she didn't turn down the soldiers, you wouldn't have had Jan. 6," Trump told Welker.


Trump declined to answer if he called military or law enforcement that day, saying, "I behaved so well, I did such a good job, Nancy Pelosi turned down 10,000 soldiers … if she didn't do that …"

"She has authority over the Capitol," Trump added. "National Guard not coming? I asked her [for them] to be there three days in advance, and she turned it down."
