Washington Post journalist Robert Costa said that Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley “was not going rogue” when told his Chinese counterpart that the U.S. would not launch a surprise attack, Axios reports.
Said Costa: “What chairman Milley was trying to do, as we show in the book, was contain a national security emergency.”
He added: “While these calls with general Li were held on a top-secret back channel, they were not secret. This is not someone working in isolation. He was reading people in in the national security community.”
