Col. Kathy Spletstoser, who retired from the Army in 2019 after serving for 27 years, revealed on Wednesday that Donald Trump’s Joint Chiefs vice chairman, Gen. John Hyten, said that the president is “an idiot” that only cares about money.
Spletstoser “has accused Hyten of sexually assaulting her more than half a dozen times while she was under his command,” The Washington Post reports, “and then retaliating against her — accusations that he has vigorously denied during a military investigation and in front of the Senate.”
Spletstoser told the Post that she is trying to gain access to records she believes will help her case against Hyten.
She goes on to talk about a conversation she had with Hyten after he attended a dinner with the president and First Lady in October 2017.

“The president is an idiot,” Spletstoser says Hyten told her. “He is just a businessman without the basic understanding of national security. Everything is a business transaction for him and making money is winning to him and the only thing that matters.”
Spletstoser also revealed that Hyten told the First Lady highly sensitive information.
“I also spent a lot of time talking to Melania Trump about the locations of all our intercontinental ballistic missile fields. She was more inquisitive and smarter than the president,” Hyten reportedly said.
