<p>Gen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mark-milley">Mark Milley</a>, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he did not receive any &#8220;illegal&#8221; orders after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2020-election">2020 election</a>.</p>
<p>Martha Raddatz, anchor of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week,&#8221; noted that <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/07/15/joint-chiefs-staff-planned-stop-trump-coup-over-election-claims/7975643002/">reports</a> &#8220;abounded&#8221; saying that Milley worried former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> might try to use the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/military">military</a> to stay in power.</p>
<p>&#8220;Were you concerned at any time that you might receive an illegal order after Election Day?&#8221; she asked the general <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYFr5JgVvhc">in an interview that aired on Sunday</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I never did receive an illegal order,&#8221; Milley responded. Pressed again if he was at least concerned about it, the top military official added, &#8220;No, you know, I argued the case at various times for alternative courses of action. Never received an illegal order.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reports about Milley and other military officials fearing that Trump might attempt a coup date back more than two years.</p>
<p>At the time, Trump fired back with a statement that said, &#8220;If I was going to do a coup, one of the last people I would want to do it with is General Mark Milley.&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/15/mark-milley-feared-coup-after-trump-lost-to-biden-book.html">He also said</a>, &#8220;I&#8217;m not into coups!&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump is now <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/latest-2024-presidential-polling-trump-rises-above-biden-again">running a 2024 campaign</a> seeking another term in the White House, possibly leading to a 2020 rematch against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a>. Trump is doing so while facing indictments in four criminal cases, including two focused on alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.</p>
<p>The former president has denied any wrongdoing, pleaded not guilty to the charges he faces, and claims that politically motivated prosecutors are conducting a “witch hunt” against him.</p>
<p>Milley, who is set to retire in the coming weeks as his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joint-chiefs-nominee-knocks-tubervilles-hold-on-military-promotions">term as chairman</a> of the Joint Chiefs of Staff comes to an end, also said in his interview with ABC that he is not concerned about the prospect of another January 6.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, I&#8217;m not nervous about it,&#8221; Milley said, adding later, &#8220;I don&#8217;t get nervous about a lot of things. I&#8217;ve seen a lot of combat. So I&#8217;m beyond that actually.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pressed on his level of confidence, Milley added, &#8220;I am confident that the United States and the democracy in this country will prevail and the rule of law will prevail. I&#8217;m absolutely confident of that. And these institutions are built to be strong, resilient, and to adapt to the times, and I&#8217;m 100 percent confident we&#8217;ll be fine.&#8221;</p>
