Portrait of Gen. Mark Milley taken down from Pentagon wall hours after Trump inauguration

[USA Today] A portrait of Mark Milley, the retired general and former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who former President Biden preemptively pardoned on Monday morning, was taken off the wall of the Pentagon hours after President Donald Trump was inaugurated.

The portrait had disappeared from the hallway's wall less than two hours after Trump was sworn in at noon, according to multiple reports. A Defense Department official declined comment to USA TODAY.

Milley, a four-star general with a more-than-four-decade military career, was appointed chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation's highest ranking military officer, by Trump in 2018. But he earned Trump’s wrath by criticizing Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and calling China to reassure the country that Trump would not attack it.
