National Guard troops will remain stationed at the U.S. Capitol until March 22, according to a Pentagon spokesman.
“We’re obviously constantly in touch with the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service and D.C. officials about the need about the requirement. And we’re always evaluating it,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on Tuesday.
“There’s no incidents to report. Things are safe and secure right now,” he said.
