Milley defends 'absolute' loyalty to US, says Trump officials knew of calls with China
Fox News
Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley maintained his "absolute" loyalty to the U.S. Tuesday, and said he made top Trump administration officials aware of calls with his Chinese counterpart, despite reports to the contrary.
Milley has faced calls to resign since the revelations were made public earlier this month. The book "Peril" by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa claims that Milley contacted Li after he had reviewed intelligence that suggested Chinese officials believed the United States was planning an attack on China amid military exercises in the South China Sea. The book claims Milley contacted Li a second time to reassure him that the U.S. would not make any type of advances or attack China in any form.
Milley, on Tuesday, addressed the allegations, saying he has served the U.S. for 43 years.
