Former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mike Mullen on Sunday defended the conservations between Gen. Mark Milley and Chinese officials after Jan. 6, which were revealed in a new book, as "routine."
“Having communications with counterparts around the world is routine, and even having them now with China,” Mullen told host Martha Raddatz on ABC's "This Week."
“There was a time when we had no communications with China, or we'd have a problem with China, they'd cut off all mil-to-mil connections. And so, actually, I'm encouraged at the fact that the line of communication is there.”
