Attorney General William Barr said there was wide agreement inside the Trump administration that active-duty troops should only be used in American cities to control national protests as a “last resort.”
“The decision was made to have at the ready and on hand in the vicinity some regular troops. But everyone agreed that the use of regular troops was a last resort and that as long as matters can be controlled with other resources, they should be,” Barr told CBS News’ “Face the Nation” in an interview that aired Sunday.
He said he agreed with Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley that the federal government had “adequate resources” available to handle the protesters but wanted the US troops nearby in case they were needed.
He also denied a CBS News report that President Trump last Monday called for the deployment of 10,000 active-duty troops to quell the protests that began after George Floyd died in Minneapolis police custody on May 25.
“The president never asked or suggested that we needed to deploy regular troops at that point. It’s been done from time to time in our history. We try to avoid it. And I’m happy that we were able to avoid it on this occasion,” Barr said.
He did confirm that “some” 82nd Airborne military police were brought to the area, but not into Washington, DC.
