CNN's fact-checker Daniel Dale highlighted false claims made by President Trump during a recent Oval Office photo op. Notably, Dale refuted Trump's assertion that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitted to rejecting an offer for 10,000 National Guard troops on January 6, 2021. He clarified that Pelosi's statement on the day in question was about taking responsibility for security failures, not an admission regarding any offer from Trump, which she has strongly denied, emphasizing that the president holds command over the National Guard, not the House speaker.
Daniel Dale noted that Trump's claim about Nancy Pelosi rejecting an offer for 10,000 National Guard troops on January 6 is false, as the tape does not support that.
Dale elaborated that while Pelosi took responsibility for the lack of security, she denied that Trump made any such offer, countering the narrative.
