Former US Secretary of Defense wants to thwart Trump’s plot

Ten former U.S. defense ministers have called on Trump to accept the election results. They also demand that the military not be involved in any attempt to change the decision.

Ten former ministers, including two ministers who served under Trump, said in a letter that “the time has come to question the results.” In the de Washington Post. “Any attempt to involve the US military in resolving electoral conflicts would push us into dangerous, illegal and unconstitutional territories.”

Former Secretary of Defense warns that US enemies could use force to block the transfer of power. In addition, current ministers are inviting current Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller to resume cooperation with Joe Biden’s delegation. The Pentagon’s Transfer Committee had previously complained that the Pentagon was no longer responding to questions. Also, Pitton’s team will no longer receive any military explanations.

Trump, who lost the November election by more than 7 million votes, has consistently questioned its outcome. This weekend, he put pressure on regulators in the state of Georgia to adjust the election results.

The president is also flirting with the plot. For example, he invited retired General Michael Flynn to the White House after he suggested on television that Trump could declare martial law and call new elections with the help of the military.

It is with deep concern that the ten former Secretary of Defense realized the need to come together and write this. https://t.co/xJsRFOIEpe
