Fox News
Former President Donald Trump alleges former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "turned down 10,000 soldiers" before Jan. 6, blaming her for the Capitol riot.
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…" Welker challenged Trump that Pelosi did not have the authority he had as commander in chief.

"I understand that the police testified against her, the chief very strongly against her, the Capitol police, great people," Trump said in the interview aired Sunday. "They testified against her, and they burned all the evidence. OK? They burned all the evidence. They destroyed all the evidence about Nancy Pelosi."
