A professor who is an expert in national security has testified that then-President Donald Trump could have mobilized the National Guard and federal law enforcement to protect the U.S. Capitol once violence broke out on Jan 6, 2021
Scott Gessler, attorney for former President Donald Trump, objects to testimony during a hearing for a lawsuit to keep Trump off the state ballot, Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023, in Denver. DENVER — — Then-President Donald Trump could have mobilized the National Guard and other federal agencies to protect the U.S. Capitol once violence broke out on Jan.
The Colorado case and another before the Minnesota Supreme Court on Thursday are the two most advanced of dozens of challenges to Trump around the country. On Tuesday, his campaign filed a lawsuit in Michigan to stop a related case there. One of the cases is likely to end up at the U.S. Supreme Court, which has never ruled on the insurrection clause.
Banks acknowledged he did not know what conversations were occurring in the White House that afternoon. Testimony to the House committee that investigated the attack shows that some aides were aghast that Trump wasn't taking action, but the former president's lawyers called the committee's report a partisan document that was distrusted by Republicans.
