Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, is requesting more information on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 8th call with General Mark Milley. During the call, Pelosi attempted to revoke President Trump’s military authority following the violent protest-turned-riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6th. The group has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of Defense for details of the call.

Townhall reports:

The lawsuit demands “any and all records regarding, concerning, or related to the telephone call between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and General Mark Milley on or about January 8, 2021,” and “any and all transcripts, recordings, and/or summaries of the call, as well as any other records produced in preparation for, during, and/or pursuant to the call.” Judicial Watch is also looking for “any and all additional records of communication between Gen. Milley and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi between November 1, 2020, and the present.”

At the time, the Wall Street Journal called the speaker’s behavior “A Coup of Pelosi’s Own.”

We scoured the U.S. Constitution Friday afternoon and it’s definitely not there: the provision allowing the Speaker of the House of Representatives to intervene in the military chain of command to protect the world from President Trump.

Mrs. Pelosi’s call to Gen. Milley is itself a violation of the separation of powers by seeking to inject herself into an executive-branch military decision. She can offer advice all she wants, but this call at this time has the sound of an order. It might even be construed by some as its own little coup—conniving with the military to relieve of command the person who remains the elected President.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said, “Our new lawsuit aims to uncover the truth about the call.”
