Meanwhile, Trump allies like Steve Bannon have focused on Milley as a target for legal action once Trump is in office: "I think Mark Milley has to be recalled to active duty on the afternoon of the 20th... a military tribunal ... a court martial."

And Milley has braced for Trump's return to power as @NorahODonnell reported for @60Minutes, taking "appropriate measures to ensure my safety and the safety of my family."

Milley was not the only one alarmed. Based on our reporting for "Peril," CIA Director Gina Haspel, for instance, told Milley, “We are on the way to a right-wing coup.” cc: @realBobWoodward
