Trump said Tuesday his administration is in the process of “identifying and removing” more than 1,000 Biden appointees.
"My family and I are deeply grateful for the President's action today," Milley said in a statement to USA Today provided by a spokesperson.
Andrés was removed from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. Milley will no longer serve on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council.
Gen. Mark Milley, the now-retired former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, commented on the pardon he received in Biden's final hours in office.
President Donald Trump removed four holdover high-profile presidential appointees early Tuesday, using his Truth Social platform to deliver the message.
President Biden noted that the "should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing."
The heads of the Jan. 6 committee say they're grateful for the decision by President Joe Biden to pardon them “not for breaking the law but for upholding it.”
Joe Biden has issued preemptive pardons to Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley and more just hours before Donald Trump's inauguration.
During his inauguration, the president exuded the energy of a man convinced he has nearly absolute power and that no one can stop him.
On Monday evening, just hours after Donald Trump’s inauguration, the Senate passed the Laken Riley Act, an extreme bill that would allow for the deportation and detention of any undocumented immigrant merely suspected of a nonviolent crime. And they did it with the help of 12 Democrats.
