The commander of DC National Guard has called for retraction of a Pentagon report on the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol by supporters of former US President Donald Trump.

Pentagon says it will respond "appropriately" after Oklahoma National Guard said it will not follow the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The US National Guard has been forced to cancel some of its trainings after Congress failed to reimburse the costs of the forces’ deployment to end former US President Donald Trump's supporters raid against the Capital premises on January 6.

US National Guard wants reimbursement for protecting Capitol during pro-Trump protests

US congressional leaders are considering a $200 million budget to secure a permanent deployment of a National Guard quick reaction force on the US Capitol to immediately combat future emergencies in Washington, DC.

The Democratic and Republican leaders of the US House Armed Services Committee have called for a reduction in the deployment of National Guard troops at the Capitol after the January 6 attack, saying they are “deeply troubled” by the continued heavy military presence around Congress.

Amidst concerns about security and potential of more violence, the US Capitol Police has sought 60-day extension for National Guard.
