Pete Hegseth is set to announce he will be “immediately pulling” the security detail.

Pete Hegseth is set to announce he will be “immediately pulling” the security detail off of retired Gen. Mark Milley in retirement. Milley may be demoted in retirement if an inspector general finds evidence showing he took action to “undermine the chain of command” in the first Trump term.

According to Fox News, the newly appointed Secretary of Defense will shortly announce that Milley will no longer have a personal security detail and if the IG finds enough evidence against Milley, he will be stripped of a star in retirement. The Pentagon will also remove a second portrait of Milley from the building.  

A portrait of Milley has already been removed from the Pentagon, and was taken down last week within a few hours of Trump taking office. Fox reported that the second portrait will be removed as soon as tonight.  

When a senior Trump official was asked about why the actions were taking place, the official replied, “There is a new era of accountability in the Defense Department under President Trump’s leadership—and that’s exactly what the American people expect.” 

Milley was the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2019 to 2023 under Biden as well as Trump. Despite serving under the Trump administration, Bob Woodward has written that Milley told him at a reception that he thought Trump was “fascist to the core!” 

Milley “shared with me his worries about Trump’s mental stability and control of nuclear weapons,” Woodward wrote in a different novel. In advance of Trump’s inauguration, Biden granted Milley a preemptive pardon. However, upon taking office, Trump fired him along with several other top officials who served under the Biden administration.
