Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has informed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff retired Army Gen. Mark Milley that he is revoking his personal security detail and suspending his security clearance, according to senior defense officials.

Hegseth is also directing the acting Department of Defense Inspector General to conduct a review board to determine whether he should keep his rank as a retired-four star general, due to his actions undermining the chain of command at the end of President Donald Trump’s first term.

“The Secretary informed General Milley today that he is revoking the authorization for his security detail and suspending his security clearance as well. The Secretary has also directed the DoD IG to conduct an inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding Gen Milley’s conduct so that the Secretary may determine whether it is appropriate to reopen his military grade review determination,” Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot told Breitbart News in a statement.

Milley was assigned personal security details after the U.S. military conducted a fatal strike killing Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani in 2020, and Iran vowed retaliation.

According to several book accounts, Milley had taken a number of actions to subvert Trump at the end of his first administration and undermine the chain of command — which as the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, he was not technically a part of.
