Larry Hogan said Thursday he immediately mobilized state police and national guard members when asked to go to Washington to help protect the U.S. Capitol, but the state was repeatedly denied permission before finally being authorized to send help by a defense official.
Maryland governor was denied permission to send National Guard & State Police, despite requests from DC mayor & congressional leaders (needed b/c DC is federal turf). Blocked by federal head of National Guard.
