Sen. Rand Paul said that allegations that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff  Gen. Mark Milley told Chinese officials that he would warn them if the U.S. was planning an attack during Donald Trump’s presidency, should be investigated and possibly be court-martialed.

Paul made his comments during an interview on Fox News on Wednesday.
