Mark Milley's Pentagon Portrait Removed Hours After Trump's Inauguration

The portrait of the former Joint Chiefs chairman, recently pardoned by Biden, was taken down following Trump's return to office.

The Pentagon removed Mark Milley's portrait, unveiled just 10 days earlier, hours after Donald Trump was inaugurated for his second term.
The removal follows Biden's last-minute preemptive pardon of Milley, aimed at shielding him from potential politically motivated prosecution under Trump.
Milley, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2019 to 2023, had clashed with Trump over issues including military actions and his handling of the January 6 Capitol attack.
Trump has previously accused Milley of treason for his outreach to China during the post-2020 election period and suggested he deserved the death penalty, though Milley defended his actions as necessary for stability.
The White House has declined to comment on the portrait's removal, which has been described by some as an unprecedented move.
