Mattis demanded Strategic Command notify him immediately if a nuke alert was being sent to Trump
“For over a year, Mattis has been trying to reassure congressional leaders that he could help check some of Trump’s impulses, in part by intervening in the nuclear chain of command,” the Washington Post’s Bruce Blair and Jon Wolfsthal explained. “In a break with normal procedures, Mattis reportedly told the commander of the Strategic Command to keep him directly informed of any event that might lead to a nuclear alert being sent to the president. He even told the Strategic Command ‘not to put on a pot of coffee without letting him know.'”
