Anger toward Gen. Milley may have led Trump to discuss documents, adding to indictment evidence

Former President Donald Trump's anger toward a single person appears to have played a key role in evidence leading to his indictment this week. 

It all comes down to one person, Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to multiple sources. 

Trump loathed the positive coverage Milley received in the press and in books. In his post-presidency period, Trump fumed about Milley, who seemed to be portrayed as a hero, while he was cast as an insurrectionist. In one story, a July 2021 New Yorker article, journalist Susan Glasser depicted Milley's efforts in the last days of the Trump administration to keep the president from attacking Iran.
