The January 6 committee found that some officials believed that Trump would issue an"illegal order" and that there was no intentional delay in deploying the military.WASHINGTON — Pentagon officials feared president Donald Trump would issue an “illegal order” commanding troops to help with his coup attempt to retain power, the House January 6 committee found.
Trump himself has accused Democratic House speaker Nancy Pelosi of failing to deploy troops, even though she lacked any authority to do, while some Democrats have suggested the military intentionally delayed a response to give Trump’s mob a chance to accomplish what he wanted.
The report’s 161-page executive summary provides an overview of the evidence collected by the committee over its year and a half of work. It also provides the detail behind its recommendations of criminal prosecution against Trump and several of his allies on charges that include making false statements, obstructing an official proceeding and seditious conspiracy.
