Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley said Wednesday he wouldn't comment on a recent book excerpt alleging he and other top officials were so deeply concerned that former President Donald Trump and his allies might attempt a coup after the November 2020 election they informally planned for ways to stop it.
"I'm not going to comment on what's in any of those books," Milley said during a press conference at the Pentagon where he was repeatedly pressed on a myriad of claims about his relationship with the former President. However, Milley did stress that he and the other top Pentagon leaders have always "maintained" their oaths to the Constitution and not to any individual, making clear that "the military did not and will not and should not ever get involved in domestic politics."
