Whistleblowers To Further Dismantle Jan. 6 National Guard Narrative About Trump On Wednesday, whistleblowers from the Washington DC National Guard are expected to tell Congressional investigators that former President Donald Trump wanted them deployed, but an Army Secretary, Ryan McCarthy, delayed relaying this to DC National Guard Commander William Walker by at least two hours.

Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has called his old boss, Donald Trump, a threat to democracy and declared he will not vote for him in November.

In one interview from 2022, he said he's considering "full pardons with an apology to many" if he's elected president. But a new report suggests that may be wishful thinking.
