Pentagon pulls security clearance of former Joint Chiefs of Staff Milley

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revoked the security clearance and detail of Gen. Mark Milley, marking an unprecedented action against the former Joint Chiefs chairman, according to Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot.
Hegseth ordered an inspector general investigation into Milley's conduct to determine if a review of his rank is necessary, but did not specify the conduct in question.
President Joe Biden issued a blanket pardon for Milley, protecting him from prosecution, although an investigation could still affect his rank.
Milley has stated that his phone calls with a Chinese counterpart were routine and coordinated with defense secretaries, despite Trump's accusations of treason.
