SHOW TRANSCRIPT
Ten thousand National Guardsmen will be deployed in Washington, D.C., by this weekend. The decision comes following threats of violence posted on social media by those who believe the election was “stolen.”
Gen. Daniel Hokanson said the current number of guardsmen will increase from 6,200 to 10,000. And he said it’s possible there could be as many as 15,000.
“As always, our first priority is to protect people and property, and the National Guard looks forward to working with our District and federal partners to ensure a peaceful inauguration for President-elect Biden on Jan. 20,” National Guard Bureau Chief Gen. Daniel Hokanson said.
