I can’t say that this is surprising. Still, it provides another chance to take a swipe at former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who The Federalist has busted for suppressing exculpatory evidence concerning the ongoing anti-Trump narrative that the former president orchestrated some violent coup on January 6. One bit of proof Cheney didn’t want to be widely publicized is the Trump administration’s security plans, which included 10,000 National Guard troops to protect Washington, DC. The city rejected it.
These revelations were gleaned from an interview with Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato, who heard conversations between White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser. Meadows wanted the city to request whatever they needed to keep the city secure. Cheney was reportedly present for these interviews. Mollie Hemingway has more:

The Jan. 6 select committee suppressed testimonyfrom former White House deputy chief of staff Anthony Ornato that proves former President Donald Trump was “willing to ask for” 10,000 National Guard troops to safeguard the nation’s capital on Jan. 6, 2021, according to Rep. Barry Loudermilk, chairman of the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight.
The Georgia Republican released the transcribed interview Friday in a press release.
When interviewed by the select committee on Jan. 28, 2022, Ornato was asked whether he recalled “any discussion prior to the 6th about whether and how many National Guard troops to deploy on January 6th.”
Ornato replied that he remembered a conversation between White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser.
“I remember he had — he was on the phone with her, and we — I had walked in for something, and I was there, and he was on the phone with her and wanted to make sure she had everything that she needed. Because I think it was the concern of anti and pro groups clashing is what I recall. And not anywhere near the Capitol, this was just out on the mall area or at the event; and wanted to know if she need[ed] any more guardsmen,” Ornato said.
“And I remember the number 10,000 coming up of, you know, the President wants to make sure that you have enough. You know, he is willing to ask for 10,000. I remember that number. Now that you said it, it reminded me of it. And that she was all set. She had, I think it was like 350 or so for intersection control and those types of thing not in the law enforcement capacity at the time,” he continued.
