New Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday stripped former Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley of his security detail and ordered the acting inspector general to investigate whether the former Army leader could face criminal charges or a retroactive demotion for misconduct, potentially including undermining the chain of command.
The unusual move is the latest showdown between President Donald Trump and Milley, who served as the top uniformed officer during Trump’s first term in office and has been a vocal critic of the president’s actions and demeanor.
In a statement sent out by Pentagon leaders just before midnight, Defense Department spokesman said that Milley was informed of the actions Tuesday afternoon.
“The secretary has directed the DoD IG to conduct an inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding Gen. Milley’s conduct, so that the secretary may determine whether it is appropriate to reopen his military grade review determination.”
I don't know enough about how this all works to say 'he's in trouble', but I suspect he is. Some of the crap he openly talked about doing to Trump, his boss, should get him every bit of trouble possible.
And I hope it does.

Considering he informed China that if Trump took action, Milley would tell them. Reduction in rank is not good enough. He needs to be court martialed and jailed for treason.
