Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers, who has been an ardent supporter of the push for Space Command, is calling on the USAF to release "full details," including publicizing "the role President Trump played in this decision."
The mayor and Co Springs Chamber CEO Dirk Draper say the next step is coordinating with state/federal leaders to ask Biden's administration "to at least suspend" the Space Command decision.
The mayor says the city will FOIA request documents to explain the process. He repeated his call for knowing the president's role in the decision.
He also said based on what sources are saying, he "absolutely" believes the motive is a personal one for the president.
