Watchdog pushes for investigation of ex-Gen. Milley’s Jan. 6 planning

From Judicial Watch:

Judicial Watch today said that after being stonewalled by the Pentagon for details about conference calls hosted by Milley and two other Pentagon officials, it has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to get access to reports and transcripts.

It is unclear what those calls covered, although Judicial Watch said that the targeting of “far right” groups has been reported.

The Pentagon and other security agencies have long been at the heart of investigations into how the government readied for protests, but the details of their actions and planning have been sketchy, and Judicial Watch is eager to nail down what the Pentagon wanted and planned and what it was coordinating with Justice and other agencies.

“General Mark Milley and many deep staters at the Pentagon hated President Trump, so their role in January 6 is well worth exploring,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
