In a surprise statement Tuesday afternoon, retired Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman (US Army) strongly suggested that Gen. Mark Milley should resign as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Vindman was reacting to excerpts from a new book in which Milley is reported to have called a counterpart in China following his own conclusion that President Trump was unstable following the 2020 elections last November.
“If this is true, GEN Milley must resign,” tweeted Vindman, a former National Security Council staffer who testified before Congress about a phone call in which President Trump sought damaging information on Joe Biden from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to “Peril,” Milley took extraordinary and secret steps two days after the January 6 uprising at the U.S. Capitol to limit Trump’s power to order a nuclear strike. He specifically told his subordinates at a closed-door meeting that “no matter what you are told, you do the procedure, you do the process, and I am part of the process.”
