Army Backs Off Plan to Send Home Troops Outside D.C.
“The Army was making plans to send home active-duty soldiers who were dispatched to the Washington, D.C., area to bolster security amid unrest, but the plan was reversed on Wednesday after a meeting at the White House involving the defense secretary,” the Washington Post reports.
“The meeting occurred after Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in a news conference on Wednesday that he did not support invoking a law that would permit President Trump to use active-duty troops on American streets in response to the unrest.”
