Defense officials backtrack on Trump's claim that Gen. Milley is ‘in charge’ of military response to violent protests

“One day after President Donald Trump said he was putting the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in charge of the military response to violent protests across the nation, anonymous defense officials used the cloak of anonymity to try to put the genie back in its bottle.

President Donald Trump told governors on Monday that he felt local authorities had not done enough to contain the domestic unrest, according to the Washington Post. The president also said that he was putting Army Gen. Mark Milley “in charge” of the overall response, but he did not explain what responsibilities Milley would have.”

Just in case:
