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...

Oh come on man, why would anyone expect a member of CONgress be expected to be truthful, honest, ethical or moral?
Lying Lizard…
Nothing happens to these people, our country is so broken.
Liz Cheney ... should be drafted and sent to the front lines in Ukraine.
Keep the commie away from the people who are actually working. She’ll get someone else killed.
Wouldn't that mean that the whole thing was just politics?
Lock her up.
So much lawlessness and corruption, so...so very few ever held accountable.
Given this, and other similar revelations, when will the J6 political prisoners be released and exonerated?
When she kept excluding peacefully and patriotically from every time she quoted trumps speech that didn’t set off alarm bells? She learned from her dads WMD fiasco how to con the public
The Cheneys are despicable scum
The Uniparty treats facts like Fauci treats science...a tool to be used to accomplish their goals. Because they are smarter than everyone else and their ideas and plans must be implemented “for our own good”.
About the same time we put Bennie and Liz and Eric and Adam et al in prison.
Liz lied. Innocents died. Liz needs to referred to the Justice Department for prosecution and be at the top of the list when Trump is inaugurated.
100%
There few people I think should burn in hell but they Cheney’s definitely belong there
TDS is only the most recent manifestation of the left’s insanity.
This is further proof.
It’s hard to keep track of all the claims made by DJT since 2015 that have been proven to be true despite Trump haters’ claims of “silly” or “no evidence”.
The Jan 6th committee need to be charged with falsifying government documents and sentenced to prison. The should share the same cell so they can blame each other for their failures.
Never let up! J6 was not an insurrection!
