Pelosi Spoke With Joint Chief Seeking To Strip Trump Of Presidential Powers, Access To Nuclear Codes

In what ABC News has called an “extraordinary” move, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Friday that she reached out to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss the “available” options that could be taken to strip President Donald Trump of some of his presidential powers.

Pelosi, according to ABC, was seeking to prevent “‘an unstable president’ from accessing the nuclear launch codes or initiating military hostilities before he is out of office in 12 days.”
