Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has taken significant actions against retired Gen. Mark Milley, including revoking his security detail despite ongoing threats. Hegseth also ordered the removal of Milley's portraits from Army establishments and initiated an investigation into his conduct during Trump's presidency, particularly regarding communications with Chinese officials post-2020 election. This was viewed as potentially undermining military command. Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper defended Milley's actions, while Trump's criticism of Milley has escalated to calls for severe repercussions, showcasing the ongoing tensions within military and political spheres post-Trump administration.
Secretary Hegseth has decided on his second day to immediately pull General Milley's security detail though multiple threats on his life remain.
Hegseth also ordered a second Milley Army portrait removed from the army halls and ordered the new acting inspector general to conduct a review board.
