America’s top military officer said Thursday that he made a mistake when he accompanied President Donald Trump on a walk from the White House to a nearby church that was damaged by rioters the night before.
“I should not have been there,” Army Gen. Mark Milley, the Joint Chiefs chairman, said while speaking to graduates at the National Defense University in Washington.
