Trump has often criticized his former top general, whose portrait was taken down at the Pentagon just after the new administration took office.

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.

Former President Joe Biden greeted President Donald Trump at the White House in advance of Monday’s inauguration with a conciliatory gesture, telling him and first lady Melania Trump: “Welcome home.” Trump ended his first day back in that home by posting a sneering message boasting of how his team was hunting down hundreds of Biden appointees to throw out of office.

The Pentagon on Monday removed the portrait of Mark Milley, the retired Army general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to two Reuters witnesses, in a move that happened within two hours of President Donald Trump's inauguration.

Milley's newly unveiled portrait was removed from the hallways of the Pentagon hours after President Donald Trump was inaugurated.

He began by dismissing four people: retired Gen. Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council; celebrity chef José Andrés from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition; Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars; and Keisha Lance Bottoms, former mayor of Atlanta, from the President’s Export Council.

The Pentagon pulled down a portrait of retired US Army General and frequent Donald Trump critic Mark Milley just hours after Trump’s Monday inauguration in Washington, DC, witnesses told Reuters.

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.

A day that began with the outgoing president’s pardon of lawmakers and his own family ended with the incoming president’s pardon of supporters who attacked the U.S.
