Only the President, Congress (as a whole), or the Secretary of Defense can call up military reservists. Soooo, who did call them up???
In his recent video asking for calm, President Trump said himself that HE ordered the troops for the Capitol.
The mayor requested and Trump
approved as DC is under a state
of emergency. What I’m surprised
about are the number being called
up. 20,000?
The mayor has the emergency
declaration extending for 15 days
past the 20th.
