Former President Donald Trump's anger toward a single person appears to have played a key role in evidence leading to his indictment this week.
It all comes down to one person, Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to multiple sources.
Trump loathed the positive coverage Milley received in the press and in books. In his post-presidency period, Trump fumed about Milley, who seemed to be portrayed as a hero, while he was cast as an insurrectionist. In one story, a July 2021 New Yorker article, journalist Susan Glasser depicted Milley's efforts in the last days of the Trump administration to keep the president from attacking Iran.
The former president began to talk regularly about Milley in 2021, dismissing him and bringing up stories that made Milley seem unintelligent and untrustworthy, according to sources. They said Trump's anger about Milley led him to be cavalier about what he said about the general, their interactions and policy decisions. It frustrated some Trump aides who noticed he would veer close to classified material in conversations.
Then, Trump started to do interviews for books.
While Trump didn't speak to Bob Woodward or me for our book "Peril," he spoke to many others in 2021 at the same time he was lashing out at Milley in private. These dynamics began to collide as the former president sat down with authors, pulling out documents and memos from the White House to make his points.
And when people came by to hear Trump talk about his presidency — and often rant about Milley — Trump aides would also record the conversations, in case they ever wanted to contest what was later written.

...and the excuses from the creepy Trump cultists never end.
They blame everyone and anyone except the man ultimately responsible for those picks....Donald J Trump.
I am waiting for them to say the buck never got there (ala Clinton).
Maybe Milley is playing a big part in the indictments to further the Marxist Dems takeover of the Gov’t.
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
I expect you to say, the buck never got there.
Speculation nonsense. Trial by media making something there is no proof of even happening into something that did, or might a did.
Here come the many cheap articles constructing a narrative for the lawfare engineers.
That bunch actually believes there are non swamp creatures available for “doody” in the swamp a place where people can be a “friend” one minute and stab you the next. They never were your friend because it was all politics.
Didn’t take long for RDS to turn on Trump once the Shrubs offered him the brass ring and a bunch of bucks and donors.
The swamp is bigger than any one person. It is worldwide.
So, as President, Trump was a supplicant. A pawn in the game of life.
I wonder who made Trump pick Omarosa? Ha ha!
