'Milley is a complete nutjob': Trump tears into Joint Chiefs Chairman and says the only reason Biden won't fire him is because he knows his 'dirty secrets' about Afghanistan withdrawalShow more

Former President Donald Trump tore into Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley and President Joe Biden on Wednesday night after the commander-in-chief staunchly defended the embattled general from accusations he broke the chain of command with his calls to Chinese officials and should face consequences.

He accused Biden of covering for Milley because of 'dirty secrets' the general may know about Biden's chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal.

'Milley never told me about calls being made to China. From what I understand, he didn’t tell too many other people either,' the statement began.

On Wednesday Milley admitted to making two calls to his Chinese counterpart, both before the election and in January, after claims he went behind Trump's back for fear of rogue action the then-president may take.

Trump called him 'a complete nutjob.'

'He put our Country in a very dangerous position but President Xi knows better, and would’ve called me,' Trump continued.
