A military whistleblower has dropped bombshell allegations about a pre-planned plot to block President Donald Trump from assuming control of the protests at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
According to the whistleblower, a Washington D.C. National Guard official, Trump was secretly “stripped” of commander-in-chief status on Jan. 6.
According to the Daily Mail, the whistleblower revealed this week that Trump was “stripped” of his military powers and commanders refused to take his orders to deploy soldiers to the Capitol.
Colonel Earl Matthews, who was the chief legal advisor for the D.C. National Guard on the day of the Capitol protests, made the astonishing claim.
The revelation from Matthews came during a “House subcommittee reviewing the January 6 Select Committee’s investigation.”
In a nutshell, top commanders, including the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had “plotted” to ignore Trump’s orders on Jan. 6.
They claimed that Trump would use his commander-in-chief powers to deploy National Guard troops to disrupt the certification of the votes.
Additionally, the move prevented Trump from deploying troops to take control of any unrest.
The Daily Mail noted:
He claims that Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, and then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, were plotting to disobey any orders handed down by Trump because they ‘unreasonably’ assumed the then-president was going to break the law and try to use the D.C. National Guard (DCNG) to stop certification of the 2020 presidential election results.
Matthews claims the military leaders preemptively planned to go against Trump’s orders on that day.
The colonel told the Daily Mail:
“I think a very plausible argument can be made that through no fault of his own, President Trump’s command authority over both the D.C. National Guard and the U.S. Army itself had been surreptitiously curtailed by the senior leadership of the Army on January 6, 2021.”
