Can someone link me to an official statement of who called in the National Guard to DC? I am trying to prove that it was Trump not Pelosi etc.

The Speaker of the House doesn't have the power to order National Guard deployments.

Only one person can, the Commander and Chief. Trump

During peacetime each state National Guard answers to leadership in the 50 states, three territories and the District of Columbia. During national emergencies, however, the President reserves the right to mobilize the National Guard, putting them in federal duty status.

I'd like to get confirmation on this too. I thought Pelosi had sent out a request to demand to know who was in charge of them.

State governors can't just send their NG to other states. Totally different command authorities.
