The Atlantic reported that Trump privately made damning statements against U.S. service and veterans, such as the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who had been a Vietnam prisoner of war, and former President George H.W. Bush, who was shot down as a Navy pilot in World War II.

He continued, “A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should lose his life for treason — in expectation that someone will take action,” an apparent reference to Trump's recent statements about Army Gen., who just retired as the chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff. “A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators.

The phone call led to Trump’s first impeachment by the House, but the Senate later acquitted Trump on two charges, of abusing his power and obstructing Congress.
