Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, a previously hidden transcript obtained by The Federalist shows.
Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now.
Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato’s first transcribed interview with the committee was conducted on January 28, 2022. In it, he told Cheney and her investigators that he overheard White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows push Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to request as many National Guard troops as she needed to protect the city.
He also testified President Trump had suggested 10,000 would be needed to keep the peace at the public rallies and protests scheduled for January 6, 2021. Ornato also described White House frustration with Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller’s slow deployment of assistance on the afternoon of January 6, 2021.
Not only did the committee not accurately characterize the interview, they suppressed the transcript from public review. On top of that, committee allies began publishing critical stories and even conspiracy theories about Ornato ahead of follow-up interviews with him. Ornato was a career Secret Service official who had been detailed to the security position in the White House.
Cheney frequently points skeptics of her investigation to the Government Publishing Office website that posted, she said, “transcripts, documents, exhibits & our meticulously sourced 800+ page final report.” That website provides “supporting documents” to the claims made by Cheney and fellow anti-Trump enthusiasts.
So, why would they do all this? Well, some think the Deep State saw a perfect chance to corner President Trump and his supporters, leveraging the massive crowd and their election frustration to stage what would later be labeled an “insurrection.” And that’s where the FBI and, shockingly, the CIA step in.
Now you know why they were claiming insurrection on J6. Well, capital police had orders to open gates, unlock doors, and invite everyone in. It was staged and scripted all the way. Engaging in an insurrection is the only thing that would keep Trump off the ballot. Trump didn't. pic.twitter.com/Z1rlAHSotq

New revelations from text messages have blown the lid off: the CIA was not just observing but actively involved in the chaos of January 6th, and now we know more about what these shadowy government agencies were up to, thanks to a lawsuit by Judicial Watch.
Judicial Watch just got their hands on 88 pages of juicy ATF documents from the DOJ, and guess what they found? The CIA actually had boots on the ground in Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021. How did Judicial Watch snag these records, you may be wondering? Well, no surprise, they had to drag the DOJ to court after a stone-cold silence on a FOIA request about “gunfire” in the Capitol and calls for ATF backup on that day. “These striking records show that CIA resources were deployed in reaction to the January 6 disturbance,” says Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch.

The CIA had “dog teams” on the ground that day.
Newly unearthed communications records show for the first time that the CIA played limited but key roles during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
Some 88 pages of documents that Judicial Watch shared with Secrets reveal the spy agency put “several” dog teams on alert near the Capitol and that it assigned “bomb techs” to the House side neighborhood where explosive devices were found at Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters.
The revelations were in heavily redacted documents provided to Judicial Watch, which had sued under the Freedom of Information Act for intelligence communications on Jan. 6, 2021, when pro-Trump supporters went to the Capitol to urge an end to the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory, some violently.
While virtually all federal and city police had some involvement in dispatching the crowds that day, the CIA has remained in the background.
Day by day, it’s becoming clearer: the Capitol was swarming with FEDs from every US intelligence agency. It was an extensive operation, all aimed at entrapping Donald Trump. Both the protesters and Trump himself were set up. But as the old saying goes, the truth has a way of leaking out.
