Gen. Mark Milley To Lose Security Detail And Clearance

Fox News reports:

The Pentagon will also be removing a second portrait of Gen. Milley inside the Pentagon. This one is from the Army’s Marshall Corridor on the third floor honoring his service as chief-of-staff of the Army. Fox is told the removal of this second portrait will take place as soon as tonight. This means there will be no more portraits of Gen. Milley inside the Pentagon.

The first portrait of Gen. Milley, from his time as the U.S. military’s top officer, was removed from the Pentagon last week on Inauguration Day less than two hours after President Trump was sworn into office.

The now retired Gen. Milley and other former senior Trump aides had been assigned personal security details ever since Iran vowed revenge for the killing of Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike in 2020 ordered by Trump in his first term.

On “Fox News Sunday,” the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Tom Cotton said he hoped President Trump would “revisit” the decision to pull the protective security details from John Bolton, Mike Pompeo and Brian Hook who previously served under Trump.

Asked why these actions were being taken, a senior administration official who requested anonymity replied, “There is a new era of accountability in the Defense Department under President Trump’s leadership—and that’s exactly what the American people expect.”

Per Daily Mail:

Hegseth is also directing the Pentagon’s new acting Inspector General to investigate whether Milley can be stripped of a star in retirement based on his actions to ‘undermine the chain of command.’

Adding insult to injury, the Pentagon plans to remove the second and only remaining portrait of Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, inside the building as soon as later Tuesday night, Fox also said.

The first portrait of Milley was removed from the Pentagon on Inauguration Day.

Milley received one of President Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons as he was considered one of Trump’s political enemies that the Republican president could go after once sworn-in.

Milley had worked under Trump and President Joe Biden.
