Geneneral Mark Milley said he had calls with up to 60 different countries during the chaotic 2020 election period, assuring them the US was 'not going to do something crazy'.

Milley told the committee his calls with White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo increased after the election. He said he used the calls to promote a peaceful transfer of power and to report to them what he was seeing overseas, as then- US President Donald Trump refused to concede the election and spread false claims about widespread fraud.

"There was a lot of effort to calm waters, to make sure that people overseas understood that, you know, the normal puts and takes of democracy, and this is a stable government, we're not going to do something crazy and all that," he said."That took a degree of effort."
