  • A senior Defense official said Tuesday that Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and the nation’s highest-ranking military officer did not intend to participate in President Donald Trump’s photo-op in front of St. John’s Church, which had been set on fire by protesters the night before.
  • After protesters were forcibly cleared from Lafayette Square, Trump walked through the park with several members of his Cabinet as well as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley.
  • The president then stood in front of the historic church holding a Bible and posing for photographs.
  • Esper, who has previously said that he would preserve the U.S. military’s apolitical nature, entered the frame and stood alongside Trump for the photo-op.
