The National Guard is part of the U.S. military but is unusual because it is controlled by both state and federal leaders.

D.C. is not a state, so the mayor controls the approval to call up the National Guard. Meadows testified and now confirmed Trump's team tried to get Bowser to call up the National Guard days prior to Jan. 6th, she did not do it.

Quote:The D.C National Guard was formed in 1802 by President Thomas Jefferson to defend the newly created District of Columbia. As such, the Commanding General of the D.C. National Guard is subordinate solely to the President of the United States.  This authority to activate the D.C. National Guard has been delegated, by the President, to the Secretary of Defense and further delegated to the Secretary of the Army.  The D.C. National Guard is the only National Guard unit, out of all of the 54 states and territories, which reports only to the President.

Quote:Hear ex-Trump acting defense secretary contradict Trump under oath

The January 6 committee released new audio of former Trump acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller testifying under oath that no one ordered to have National Guard troops ready to protect the US Capitol on January 6, contradicting assertions made by Trump and his Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

I mean it's easy to understand even though you may not want to.
