Despite a campaign by Democrats and the establishment media to delegitimize President Donald Trump after Wednesday’s Capitol incursion, Department of Defense officials intend to avoid outside pressure and continue to recognize him as the commander in chief while avoiding taking part in “a military coup,” according to a report.
It was widely reported Friday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to limit the president’s access to the country’s so-called nuclear football, which contains launch codes for America’s vast arsenal of nuclear weapons.
Pelosi called Milley to ask him to ignore orders from Trump to use those codes. It’s unclear what initiated the call to Milley. No specific threat from Trump seems to exist, suggesting the call was made for political purposes.

Just because something is widely reported doesn't mean it's true.
Remember, it was widely reported that JFK was assassinated by LHO.
Can we please order Pelosi to have a psychological examination? I mean, in addition to her current behavior, anybody that would have their eyebrows lifted to where they're practically touching the hairline above their forehead can't be of sound mind, amirite?
Soon she'll have a beard! She's addicted to nip and tuck with a side of adrenochrome.
Getting the denial of Pelosi's request out into the public eye is KEY for establishing that the military is on the side of POTUS, whomever that may be. Legitimizes any military activity that supports Trump for at minimum the next 10 days.
It is better if they are seen to be impartial when the Military take over
Enforcing the laws of the Constitution is not a "coup."
Trump is safe with military allies. He has the Secretary of Defense and Ezra W Cohen working well with him.
6200 National Guard are in DC, ready. The public is tricked into thinking the NG is there to prevent patriot riots. But the opposite is true.
More fearmongering re: POTUS. The treasonous Dem/globalist politicians still trying to start a war, create fear, chaos. The only one who should be fearful is Nancy.
Sources listed in the article were FAKENEWS Goebbels NAZI propagandists. New York Times and NPR are China's, as are most of the GOP/DIMS. There may be truth in there, it may be completely made up, who knows? I don't see the point in guessing or even considering notorious propaganda sources.
Just shows how stupid NYT readers are.
The one issue that has worried officials the most is Iran’s announcement that it has begun enriching uranium to 20 percent purity — near the quality to make a bomb.
So we have a bad guy yelling from the mountain tops that he has a big bomb. That's pretty stupid.
In December, Mr. Trump asked for military options that might be taken in response to Iran’s escalating production of nuclear fuel, but he was talked out of it by a number of top officials, including General Milley and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo,” the Times also reported.
Trump asked for possible options they MIGHT take if necessary. He wasn't "talked out" of anything. He was given options for scenarios that didn't happen. Had they happened, Trump would then have options. How the fuck is a person "talked out" of options for hypothetical situations?
Part of me thinks that she wanted to remove his access to nuclear codes and limit his military actions so a country like Iran could strike us. Trump goes to nuke Iran, sorry sir you dont have permission.
