The Pentagon pulled down a portrait of retired US Army General and frequent Donald Trump critic Mark Milley just hours after Trump’s Monday inauguration in Washington, DC, witnesses told Reuters.

Mark Milley's portrait as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was taken down from the Pentagon hallway where all of the paintings of the previous chairmen are located.

It's hard to tell just where retired General Mark Milley's portrait once hung in the Pentagon's prestigious E-ring hallway, alongside all of the former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Gen. Mark Milley, the now-retired former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, commented on the pardon he received in Biden's final hours in office.

Andrés was removed from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. Milley will no longer serve on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council.

The heads of the Jan. 6 committee say they're grateful for the decision by President Joe Biden to pardon them “not for breaking the law but for upholding it.”

"My family and I are deeply grateful for the President's action today," Milley said in a statement to USA Today provided by a spokesperson.

The Pentagon took down a recently unveiled portrait of retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who notoriously butted heads with President Donald Trump following his 2020 election defeat.

Retired Gen. Mark Milley has expressed his gratitude to President Joe Biden for issuing him a pardon, saying the move alleviates his concerns over potential "retribution" by the incoming Trump administration.

With just hours remaining in office, the president issued the pardons to protect people Donald Trump had threatened.

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he plans to remove over 1,000 appointees from the administration of former President Joe Biden, announcing four dismissals on social media, including celebrity chef Jose Andres and former top general Mark Milley.
