When he retweeted a Washington Times Opinion tweet covering congressional inquiries and taxpayer transparency, Kellogg dropped this nugget on July 29.
The retweet-text: "Great OpEd. Reinforces my earlier comment on 6 Jan Cmte. Has quote from DOD IG Report regarding 3 Jan 2021 meeting with Actg Def Secy Miller/CJCS Milley in the Oval on the 6 Jan NG request by POTUS on troops needed. I was in the room."
Kellogg, whose book "War by Other Means" covers the Trump presidency in great detail, probably tweeted that he has a quote from the Department of Defense's inspector general about the January 3, 2021, meeting with Trump acting Secretary of Defense Christopher C. Miller and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley.

The Oval Office meeting was regarding a National Guard request by Trump about troops required for the forthcoming rally on Jan. 6.
And on July 27, Kellogg tweeted the following:
"To be clear on 6 Jan/NG. Pg 199 of my book, 'On 3 Jan the President asked the Def Dept to deploy NG troops' into DC for J6 contingencies. OK for J6 Cmte to publicly release my full sworn testimony. Release Army Guard and DC Mayor J6 testimonies as well. Would be illuminating."

Kellogg probably announced that then-President Trump had discussed deploying the Guard to Washington before January 6, 2021. Kellogg was likewise granting the House Jan. 6 panel permission to release his sworn testimony in full.

If Kellogg's firsthand assessments can be verified, this would probably debunk several media reports arguing then-President Trump had little interest in securing the National Guard's services at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
It might further call House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., into question in terms of why she didn't approve a stronger police presence at the Capitol that day.

The ensuing morning, Gallagher replied by stating the request for National Guard support was "not forthcoming at this time after consultation with COP Sund," referring to Steven Sund, chief of the Capitol Police.
Later, Sund reportedly had a change of heart and sought permission on January 4, 2021, from the sergeants at arms for Pelosi and then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., "to deploy the National Guard as a preventive measure."
