Pelosi did not have direct control over the National Guard’s deployment on the Capitol grounds. The decision to call in the National Guard rested more with the Capitol Police and the Department of Defense, including officials like the Capitol Police Chief, the Secretary of Defense, and the President.
In the days leading up to January 6, Pelosi and other congressional leaders were briefed on security preparations, but it wasn’t Pelosi's decision alone to approve or reject the National Guard's involvement. Reports show that the Pentagon, for example, initially hesitated to approve the request for National Guard troops from the Capitol Police, citing concerns about militarizing the situation. Eventually, National Guard troops were deployed, but by then, the situation had already escalated with rioters breaching the Capitol.
