Biden and his staff appear to welcome the opportunity to remind the nation that Trump tried to overthrow American democracy after losing reelection.
WASHINGTON ― As top Republicans demand the firing of Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley for his reported actions at the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, his Democratic successor seems to welcome the discussion.
“I have great confidence in Gen. Milley,” President Joe Biden said during a White House photo opportunity Wednesday.
Press secretary Jen Psaki went further during her daily White House briefing, saying that Biden believes Milley, a four-star Army general, is committed to the Constitution and that it was important to remember what Trump was trying to do in his final two months in office.
