Esper And Milley To Testify Thursday Before House Committee

The House Armed Services Committee is set to question Defense Secretary Mark Esper and General Mark Millie about the Pentagon's response to protests following George Floyd's death. President Trump had proposed deploying active duty troops to manage protests, a move Esper opposed. Both Esper and Millie distanced themselves from a controversial photo op with Trump at St. John's Church. Lawmakers will also discuss renaming army bases named after Confederate leaders, a proposal Trump opposes, threatening to veto the defense bill if it includes such language.
