Donald Trump‘s former strategist Steve Bannon says former Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley should be returned to uniform on the first day of the new administration so he can be court martialed.
Bannon, who was recently released from federal prison, laid out his priorities for the next Trump White House and said he had been in close contact with his former boss, advising him on appointments.
The populist provocateur spoke to former Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer in an interview that will be released at 6pm on Friday.
And his recent stint in prison has clearly done nothing to dim his revolutionary zeal.
‘Number one thing is, I think Mark Milley has got to be recalled … the first action of President Trump,’ said Bannon.
‘I think it is so important to reassert civilian control over the Pentagon, the uniformed services.
‘I think Mark Milley has to be recalled to active duty on the afternoon of the 20th and I think a military tribunal … a court martial, has to be … impaneled. Mark Milley has to be brought up on charges and court martialed.’
Milley has emerged as a vocal critic of Trump, reportedly describing him as ‘fascist to the core.’ And the former president has made no secret of his contempt for a man who was once the nation’s top soldier.
