I might have the timeline wrong but I was under the impression that HS. Pelosi was the one whom initially pressured Milley (or other DoD official?) to remove's Trump's access to the nuclear football as it was being casually carried around in the chamber, during the final hours of the electoral college vote.

It wasn't just that Milley spoke to his staff or even to the Speaker, but he also called his counterpart in China to warn them[1]. This is at minimum coup-like, but arguably more treason-like.
