A portrait of retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who has feuded in highly public spats with President Trump, was taken down in the Pentagon on Monday.
A spokesperson for the Pentagon confirmed the portrait was taken down but deferred comment to the White House.
A spokesperson for the White House national security council declined to comment on why the portrait was taken down.
The portrait, which had just been unveiled Jan. 10, hung in the Joint Chiefs hallway next to those of other former chairs.
The news of the portraits being taken down was first reported by several journalists who posted photographs on the social platform X.
Former President Biden, in his last few hours in the Oval Office on Monday, issued preemptive pardons to Milley and several other people. Biden said the pardons were not an admittance of guilt but were issued for their service.
