Donald Trump's former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller claims the January 6 committee threatened to 'make his life hell' if he kept claiming his former boss authorized National Guard deployment during the Capitol riot.
Miller's bombshell claims follow a report by Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk that reveals the committee withheld a transcript from an interview with a top White House official where he told Vice Chair Liz Cheney and other staffers that Trump did want to deploy troops.
Trump appointed Miller as the Pentagon chief in November 2020 after he fired Mark Esper amid attempts to overturn Joe Biden's presidential election victory.
It was a Sean Hannity segment on June 6, 2022 featuring Miller and Trump national security official Kash Patel that seemed to 'hit a nerve,' according to the former DOD head. 'The two of us were on and the next day my lawyer got a call from the Jan. 6 staff director - I forgot exactly who it was - but basically saying, very legalistic: 'Well, if your client has additional information he wants to share, we'd be happy to have him re-interviewed,'' Miller recalled.
Sean Hannity speaks with Miller and Trump-era national security official Kash Patel to discuss the Jan. 3, 2021 Oval Office meeting where they claim Trump authorized deployment of the National Guard for Jan. 6.
Miller said it was clear to him that former Rep. Liz Cheney was the one running the show with the January 6 investigation.
Miller and Patel were in the Oval Office meeting with Trump on January 3, 2021 when he said Defense officials had the authority to approve mobilization and deployment of 10,000 National Guard troops during the Capitol riot.
