Government watchdog group Judicial Watch is suing the Pentagon for records of conference calls involving then-Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Mark Milley with the Departments of Justice, Interior, and Homeland Security regarding coordination for the Jan. 6, 2021, election certification.
“General Mark Milley and many Deep Staters at the Pentagon hated President Trump, so their role in January 6 is well worth exploring,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth should order full transparency and disclosure.”
Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit after the Department of Defense failed to respond to a Dec. 19, 2024, FOIA request for:
“Records and communications about two conference calls hosted by former Department of Defense employees Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, then Secretary of Army Ryan McCarthy, and then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley on January 3rd and January 4th, 2021, with the Department of Justice, Department of Interior, and Department of Homeland Security. The subject of these conference calls was coordination for and the common operating picture for the January 6, 2021, Electoral Certification taking place at the United States Capitol building in Washington, DC.”

In testimony to the J6 Select Committee, Milley stated:
“So there was a series of meetings prior to the 6th — and we can get you the exact dates and who’s in the meetings, et cetera — interagency meetings, with Acting SecDef Miller [and others]. And I’m involved in those meetings as well. These are in the end of December, so to speak, and then they go all the way up through, I want to say, the 2nd or 3rd or maybe 4th or something like that of January. These are telephonic conference calls to try to figure out exactly what the security measures are going to be for the 6th.”
Washington Examiner columnist Paul Bedard noted: “It is unclear what those calls covered, although Judicial Watch said that the targeting of ‘far right’ groups has been reported. The Pentagon and other security agencies have long been at the heart of investigations into how the government readied for protests, but the details of their actions and planning have been sketchy, and Judicial Watch is eager to nail down what the Pentagon wanted and planned and what it was coordinating with Justice and other agencies.”
