I am told this is not true. There were 15 people on the video teleconference calls, including a representative of the State Dept and the read out and notes from Milleys two calls with his Chinese counterpart were shared with the IC and the Interagency.

Pentagon officials: Gen Milley did not try to insert himself in the chain of command regarding the launch of nuclear weapons, but he made sure everyone knew what their roles were and what they werent. They reviewed lawful launch procedures following Pelosi phone call.

I am told that Gen Milley had 2 routine calls with his Chinese counterpart and more than a dozen calls with NATO allies after Jan 6 to reassure them the US government was stable and to reassure China that the US did not plan a surprise attack, an effort to avoid misunderstanding.

Now that we know Milley was following instructions from Trumps own SecDef, the calls had multiple agencies in attendance, and read outs were shared within the IC, I am sure Mollie will retract these remarks.

Its amazing how many people suggesting Gen Milley resign before a) reading the details in the book b) not understanding nuke launch protocols c) not knowing how senior military leaders often talk to counterparts (friends & foes), and d) dont understand the role of the CJCS.

Id suggest all journalist be careful when using words like limit, as that would be a dangerous precedent. From what I can tell from the book excerpts, Milley told staff & commanders to ensure they followed correct process & procedures. Thats different.

Two days after Jan. 6, Trump's top military adviser took top-secret action to limit Trump from ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapons, according to 'Peril.'
Milley 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline.' https://cnn.com/2021/09/14/politics/woodward-book-trump-nuclear/index.
