Trump on Meet The Press: 'If Pelosi Didn’t Turn Down Soldiers, There's No Jan. 6' [WATCH]

During an interview with Meet The Press over the weekend, former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump told host Kristen Welker that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is responsible for the events of Jan. 6; “If she didn’t turn down the soldiers, you wouldn’t have had Jan. 6,” Trump said.

“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.”

“She has authority over the Capitol,” Trump added. “National Guard not coming? I asked her [for them] to be there three days in advance, and she turned it down.”
