July 15, 2021 - US Joint Chief of Staff Mark Milley was shaken by the idea that
Donald Trump and his allies could attempt a coup or take other dangerous illegal measures after the then president's electoral defeat
. For this they planned - along with other senior officers - various ways to stop them.
This is what emerges from some advances obtained by CNN contained in the new book "I Alone Can Fix It" (only I can fix it), which will be published next Tuesday. The authors - Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker - write among other things that
Milley and the other chiefs of staff talked about a plan for resignation.
- announced separately - of each of them so as not to follow orders from the White House that they had judged illegal, dangerous or imprudent.
According to CNN, the
book is about Trump's last year in office
and offers a behind-the-scenes insight into how senior administration officials and the former president's inner circle handled his increasingly volatile behavior following his electoral defeat. Leonnig and Rucker, who interviewed Trump for more than two hours, tell how for the first time in modern U.S. history the country's top military officer - whose role is to advise the president - was preparing for a showdown with the commander in chief because he feared a coup attempt after the November defeat at the polls.
In particular, the authors explain, Milley feared that something sinister was about to happen in light of the outgoing president's post-election decision to sack Defense Minister Mark Esper and the resignation of Attorney General William Barr.
