Share:

The new US Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, has made a bold move by revoking the security clearance and personal security detail for retired General Mark Milley, the former Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This decision comes after Milley's critical remarks about Donald Trump, who had previously suggested Milley should be executed for holding back-channel talks with China. Hegseth has also directed the Defense Department's Inspectorate General to review Milley's military grade. This development is part of a larger pattern of Trump revoking security protections for former officials with whom he has clashed.
