Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book saysChairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Milley took steps to prevent then-Pres. Trump from misusing the country's nuclear arsenal during the last month of his presidency, according to a new book by the Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. Redefining treason ? Even though, if the reporting was accurate, it would be reason for Court Marshal for Milley to do so as described in their book. Nice spin NBC! He was not the POTUS, this is insubordination. Milley will be court-martialed.
