Mark Milley that hung with paintings of other former chairs of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, just hours after President Donald Trump was sworn in on Tuesday, The New York Times reported. A U.S. official told the newspaper that the White House ordered the takedown.

Mark Milley's portrait as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was taken down from the Pentagon hallway where all of the paintings of the previous chairmen are located.

Trump has often criticized his former top general, whose portrait was taken down at the Pentagon just after the new administration took office.
