"Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper reiterated to 60 Minutes on Sunday that during his time in the Trump administration, he had to prevent “dangerous things that could have taken the country in a dark direction.”
Esper, whose forthcoming book A Sacred Oath makes a number of allegations about former President Donald Trump — including that he asked about shooting Black Lives Matter protesters and wanted missile strikes to “destroy the drug labs” in Mexico — told 60 Minutes that he thinks “it’s important to our country” that the American people understand what unfolded during Trump’s presidency.
According to a transcript of the interview provided by CBS, Esper told correspondent Norah O’Donnell, “it’s important to our country, it’s important to the republic, the American people, that they understand what was going on in this very consequential period — the last year of the Trump administration.”
“And to tell the story about things we prevented: really bad things, dangerous things that could have taken the country in a dark direction,” he added.
“What kind of terrible things did you prevent?” O’Donnell asked."
