Trump has often criticized his former top general, whose portrait was taken down at the Pentagon just after the new administration took office.

The Pentagon on Monday removed the portrait of Mark Milley, the retired Army general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to two Reuters witnesses, in a move that happened within two hours of President Donald Trump's inauguration.

Milley's newly unveiled portrait was removed from the hallways of the Pentagon hours after President Donald Trump was inaugurated.

President Biden noted that the "should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing."

A day that began with the outgoing president’s pardon of lawmakers and his own family ended with the incoming president’s pardon of supporters who attacked the U.S.

With just hours left of his presidency, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House Jan. 6 committee.

President Donald Trump removed four holdover high-profile presidential appointees early Tuesday, using his Truth Social platform to deliver the message.

The recent mass pardons issued by the former and current U.S. presidents have prompted strong reaction form lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

During his inauguration, the president exuded the energy of a man convinced he has nearly absolute power and that no one can stop him.

The portrait of Milley hung in an ornate hallway that is dedicated to the history of the Joint Chiefs and displays 19 other paintings of all other prior chairmen going back to Gen. Omar Bradley.
