In excerpts published Wednesday night from the upcoming book “I Alone Can Fix It” by Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, Milley is described as being so shaken that Trump could try to stage a coup or take another illegal action that he and other members of the Joint Chiefs informally discussed plans to stop Trump.
Among the discussions was reportedly a plan to resign one-by-one rather than carrying out any illegal order from Trump.
Milley also reportedly spoke with friends, lawmakers and colleagues about the threat of a coup and felt he had to be “on guard” for what might happen.
