Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Psaki says Joe Biden has complete confidence in General Mark Milley” – below is their description.
President Joe Biden is standing behind Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley after the embattled military man admitted on Wednesday he did speak to Chinese officials before the 2020 election and again in January. Milley was responding to a bombshell report that claims he phoned his counterpart there behind Trump’s back over concerns the ex-president would take rogue action to stay in office. ‘The president knows General Milley,’ White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said at her daily news briefing on Wednesday. ‘They have worked side by side through a range of international event.’ ‘The president has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism and his fidelity to our Constitution.’ She noted that Milley held his position heading the Joint Chiefs for eight months of Biden’s presidency. Psaki then went on to provide ‘context’ to the period in which Milley made the calls. ‘The outgoing president of the United States, during this time, fomented unrest, leading to an insurrection and an attack on our nation’s Capitol on January 6th.’ She called it ‘one of the darkest days in our nation’s history.’ Milley maintains in the statement that the calls were ‘vital’ to ‘avoiding unintended consequences,’ but seemed to dispute that they were done in secret.
