Pentagon removed the portrait of former Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley, two hours after US President Donald Trump returned to the White House

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. CQ Brown, Jr., who President Trump had threatened to fire once in power, on Monday said he plans to remain the country’s highest-ranking military

Just a few hours after Trump’s inauguration Monday, a CNN reporter observed a bare spot on the wall where the portrait of the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had been first displayed just 10 days ago.

It's unclear who'll take over at the Pentagon and the military services when the top leaders all step down Monday as President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office.

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.

The US Constitution grants presidents with the authority of executive clemency for individuals convicted in federal criminal cases.

President Donald Trump signed a series of executive actions, revoking 78 of Joe Biden’s policies hours after returning to the White House.

One of the measures he had telegraphed throughout the campaign was that on “day one”, he would “launch the largest deportation program in American history”. He also announced his intention to end “birthright citizenship”, pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement (again), and impose a tranche of tariffs.

The portrait, which had just been unveiled Jan. 10, hung in the Joint Chiefs hallway next to those of other former chairs.

Two Pennsylvania brothers arrested for their role in the riots were released in Washington, D.C. on Monday night.
