General Mark Milley also saw parallels between Trump’s claims of election fraud and Adolf Hitler’s rhetoric in Nazi Germany, the book says.
A new book claims that General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the Pentagon was so worried about a coup attempt during the 2020 presidential election that top brass drew up contingency plans to stop a power grab by President Trump. As the former president pushed his narrative about a stolen election, the nation’s top military officer worried Mr. Trump or his supporters could attempt a coup, Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker write in the forthcoming book, « I Alone Can Fix It. » « They may try, but they’re not going to f—ing succeed, » Milley is quoted as saying.
