Pompeo: I Did Not Know About Milley’s Calls With Communist China
September 30, 2021 By Jordan Davidson
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he was not informed at the time that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley made potentially treasonous phone calls to his counterpart in communist China.
“I have no recollection of Gen. Milley briefing me in the way that he described,” Pompeo told Megyn Kelly on “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Wednesday.
Milley reportedly called Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army twice while former President Donald Trump was still in office to reassure the communist military authority that the United States did not have plans to attack China.
“If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise,” Milley allegedly told Zuocheng.
When questioned about the nature and frequency of the calls, Milley claimed that “shortly after my call ended with Gen. Li, I personally informed both Secretary of State Pompeo and White House Chief of Staff [Mark] Meadows about the call, among other topics.”
