Millie said he plans to have a more in-depth discussion on the issue when he testifies before the Senate Armed Services Committee in September on what is about to be a hearing on the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan and the chaotic evacuation of Americans, Afghans and others from that country. "I think it's best for me to keep my comments on the issue until I do so in front of the legislators who are legally responsible for overseeing the U.S. military," Millie said.



Now, however, Millie is expected to face tough questions about phone calls he made with his Chinese counterpart, during the final months of Trump's term, challenging the 2020 election results. In order to prevent Congress from approving Joe Biden's victory.

Millie even instructed senior military officers not to take orders from anyone unless he himself is involved in the process, especially in the event that Trump gives an order to launch a nuclear weapon.



Following the announcement, Trump stated that he had never considered attacking China.

The former president added that if the reports were true, then "Millie should be prosecuted for treason, because he acted with his Chinese counterpart behind the president's back, and said he would notify China of an attack."

Trump called Millie "dumb" and claimed the whole story was "fabricated."
