Original Note:
Claims that Milley ‘secretly’ called China are based on the book ‘Peril,’ which omitted the SecDef’s approval of the calls. The NBC article makes clear that the calls required approval. The CNN article clarifies that Miller’s criticism was the Oct call - when Esper was SecDef https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1280239 https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/09/17/politics/trump-defense-secretary-call-china-milley/index.html
