| Trump schon intern entmachtet? |  |
War in der letzten Stunde bei CNN immer mal wieder die Rede von, dass es letztlich wohl Pence war, der in Absprache mit Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, dem stellvertretenden Verteidigungsminister und den Vereinigtem Generalstab die Freigabe zum Einsatz der Nationalgarde erteilt hat. Trump war nicht Teil der Entscheidung. Pence hätte damit effektiv Macht ausgeübt.

"Chairman Milley and I just spoke separately with the Vice President and with Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Senator Schumer and Representative Hoyer about the situation at the U.S. Capitol. We have fully activated the D.C. National Guard to assist federal and local law enforcement as they work to peacefully address the situation. We are prepared to provide additional support as necessary and appropriate as requested by local authorities. Our people are sworn to defend the constitution and our democratic form of government and they will act accordingly."
