The Hill reports:
Former Trump administration aide Kash Patel on Wednesday denied claims that President Trump chose not to call up the National Guard during the Jan. 6 attacks or delayed efforts to approve their deployments in testimony he provided in the former president’s 14th Amendment case in Colorado. Patel, who was the chief of staff to acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller during the Jan. 6 attacks, argued that it was instead D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser who delayed calls for the National Guard.
But that claim contradicts findings from the Department of Defense published nearly two years after Jan. 6, which states that Trump never ordered troop deployments. Patel’s testimony also goes against findings by the House Jan. 6 committee, where Miller testified that an order to prepare at least 10,000 National Guard troops was never made. Patel was the first witness called by the defense in the Colorado case, led by attorneys for Trump’s campaign.
Read the full article. Patel now works for Truth Social and he’s got an entire website dedicated to a money beg.
PATEL primarily testified that he viewed Trump as having authorized 10k-20k DC national guard troops ahead of Jan. 6.
On cross, Patel is being pressed on any proof at all that Trump gave this authorization.

Patel says he’s being paid $15,000 per month by Trump’s Save America PAC.

Attorney asks if Patel views all liberal leaders as “evil.” Patel calls that characterization as “outrageous” and notes he’s been a public defender and worked at DOJ for Sally Yates. Says he only feels that way about specific people.
