ICYMI: Milley still hasn't responded to Banks, Grassley letter with questions on 'commitment to civilian control'
 
Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley still has not responded to an April letter from Republican Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley and his House colleague Republican Study Committee chairman Jim Banks of Indiana regarding his recent alleged statements from a 2021 book, the lawmakers say.
 
 
"Some raise questions about your commitment to civilian control of the military, the statutory chain of command, and the command authority of the Commander-in-Chief and the President of the United States," the Republicans wrote.
 
 
Banks and Grassley both took to their respective chamber floors Thursday regarding the letter, with Banks calling "sidestepping" the commander-in-chief "a grave crime."
