This has been out there for a while but was brought to light again today in a subcommittee hearing. Trump’s directive related to security for January 6th:
Milley: "The President just says, 'Hey, look at this. There's going to be a large amount of protestors here on the 6th, make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it's a safe event.'
..[POTUS said] I don't care if you use Guard, or Soldiers, active duty Soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it's safe.' [SecDefl Miller responds by saying, 'Hey, we've got a plan, and we've got it covered.'"
There’s more to all of this but this reinforces again that Trump directed there be enough security to ensure the protests were “patriotic and peaceful”. He was ignored with a set of big double barreled middle fingers.
