Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has initiated an investigation into retired General Mark Milley regarding his conduct while he served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. This decision follows tensions between Milley and former President Trump, leading to a revocation of Milley's security detail and suspension of his clearance due to alleged violations of military protocol. Critics, such as Senator Jack Reed, have condemned the actions, citing serious threats to Milley's safety from Iran and warning that the decision jeopardizes national security by undermining trust in military leadership.
Hegseth's chief of staff stated, "Undermining the chain of command is corrosive to our national security, and restoring accountability is a priority for the Defense Department."
Sen. Jack Reed criticized the decision, stating that revoking Milley's security detail was "recklessly negligent" and dangerous due to credible threats from Iran.
