When explaining J6 and how President Trump asked Pilosi to authorize the national guard to have more protection during the event but she denied it I got hit with a question I thought I knew but when looking it up I was wrong or couldn't defend the argument well.
He asked "Wait, why would Trump need Pilosi to authorize the nation guard? Can't the President authorize the national guard? What does Pilosi have to do with protecting DC?
We looked it up and saw the Insurrection act.

When Googling he also saw many articles refuting the claim that Pilosi was needed and that she denied it. (I know the media lies and big texh censors).
I couldn't find anything to support that argument so I was kind of losing him with the red pill. I told him let me ask some like minded frens to see if I can find the answer. So Im asking my GAW frens if anyone can help me defend the argument that President Trump tried to have more security on J6 but Pilosi denied it. Any help with sources I can share with him is greatly appreciated.
District of Columbia and Capital Grounds “security” are under control of the DC Mayor and the Speaker of the House. The US President cannot legally order the military to operate domestic security unless to control an invasion, insurrection, or “National Emergency” or riots that the local police or militias can’t contain. In US States, the Governors have the power to use National Guard for security during said events, riots, or disasters. But the President is not supposed to order such inside the US. Because it can been seen or used as a Coup Attempt additionally.
