Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken the unprecedented step of revoking the security protections and clearance of retired Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Mark Milley. This decision comes as Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon's inspector general to conduct a review of Milley's actions while serving as the nation's top uniformed officer to determine if a demotion is warranted.
The inspector general's review will delve into the facts and circumstances surrounding Gen. Milley's conduct during his tenure. Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot stated that this review will assist the Secretary in determining whether it is appropriate to revisit Milley's military grade review determination.
