DEFSEC and Congressional leaders communicate all the time without impropriety.
Do you have evidence of any?
I also seriously doubt DEFSEC and POTUS never communicated at all.
This is right-wing hysteria.
Mayor of D.C. properly requested guard activation. DEFSEC has discretion to activate. The President could issue a directive to rescind that order, but he doesn't have to personally order the DEFSEC to do it.
