 Trump defends sending National Guard to LA as California governor to sue administration




We can now bring you the latest comments from Donald Trump on the federal response to protests in Los Angeles.

"We made a great decision in sending the National Guard to deal with the violent, instigated riots in California," Trump writes on Truth Social. "If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated."

He says Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass had been ungrateful to him after both criticised him - stating the deployment was "unnecessary" and "inflamed" the what had been small, localised protests.

"Just one look at the pictures and videos of the Violence and Destruction tells you all you have to know," Trump adds. "We will always do what is needed to keep our Citizens SAFE, so we can, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

President Donald Trump just spoke to reporters as he returned to the White House about the protests in Los Angeles.

"The people that are causing the problem are professional agitators," he said. "They are insurrectionists. They're bad people they should be in jail."

He was also asked about California Governor Gavin Newsom challenging Trump's border chief Tom Homan to arrest him.

Trump said "I would do it if I were Tom, I think it's great... He's done a terrible job."

Homan told Fox News earlier on Monday although "no one's above the law," there was no discussion about arresting Newsom.
