Andrew Weissmann, a top prosecutor on the special counsel’s investigation, suggested on Monday that President Donald Trump fired his secretary of defense in order to pull off a military coup and remain in office.
Earlier on Monday, Trump fired Mark Esper as Pentagon chief, replacing him with Christopher Miller, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC).
Weissmann asserted on Twitter that Trump had installed a “flunky†that might allow him to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden.
The Senate confirmed Miller, a former Army Green Beret, as director of NCTC in August.
The Associated Press and other news outlets projected on Saturday that Biden will win the electoral college vote over Trump.
