According to two former leaders of the D.C. guard who recently gave closed-door testimony to Congress, Donald Trump could have quelled the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and coordinated a timely arrival of National Guard troops during the violence if he'd called Pentagon leaders that day.

The testimony came from Michael Brooks, the senior enlisted leader of the D.C. guard on Jan. 6, and Brigadier Gen. Aaron Dean, the adjutant general of the D.C. guard during that same time. The pair told the House Administration Committee that if Trump reached out to the Pentagon that day, he could have cleared up confusion that was borne from the chaos, according to transcripts obtained by Politico.
