National Guard to keep 7,000 troops in DC until March

Fact check: National Guard protected Biden by remaining armed

A few thousand National Guard troops could end up staying in the nation’s capital until mid-March, a U.S. defense official confirms to Fox News.

The National Guard is in the process of meeting with various federal agencies to “determine their requirements” for troops to stay beyond January, the official said. Planning is underway, but no final decisions have been made, the official added.

Around 25,000 Guardsmen deployed to Washington D.C., ahead of President Biden’s inauguration after the deadly Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol where authorities were badly outnumbered by pro-Trump supporters.

The ceremony went off with only a few minor arrests. About a dozen Guard troops were removed from their posts after being vetted by the FBI, including two who made extremist statements about the event.

In a statement Thursday, the National Guard said about 7,000 troops would remain in Washington through the “end of the month.” But there is concern among some city and federal authorities that protesters might return to Washington in early March on the original presidential inauguration date, March 4.

  Jeff, I listened to this guys pitch about the general election certification and inauguration. I am afraid that what he said was as misleading as a judas goat. GOOD LUCK!

  Not so fast. I had my niece call her daughter in Italy to verify much of what he said. Her reply was positive. So..... Let's sit back and watch.

  Oh I'd love him to be right, but will loathe it if he's wrong.
  
  Literally the worst act that patriots can make, is to do as
  
  the "country club" Republicans like McConnell has done,
  
  resign to the Nations fall and get comfortable until then.

I loved the video of them turning their backs on Biden during his little inauguration parade. I was so proud of them.

Anytime they want to enter and arrest the traitors in Congress' midst, they have my permission. Bring lots of zip ties.
