The U.S. Navy announced it would scrap plans to carry out reviews of three Navy SEALs that could have led to their ouster from the elite force, after Trump’s intervention in a related case
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Navy announced on Wednesday it would scrap plans to carry out reviews of three Navy SEALs that could have led to their ouster from the elite force, after President Donald Trump’s extraordinary intervention in a related case.
“I have determined that any failures in conduct, performance, judgment, or professionalism exhibited by these officers be addressed through other administrative measures as appropriate,” acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly said in a statement. Critics say the actions undermine military justice and send a message that battlefield atrocities will be tolerated. Trump’s former Navy secretary, Richard Spencer, who was fired on Sunday over the case, has spoken out against the president on the issue.
Trump has argued that Gallagher’s case was mishandled by the Navy and said that he is defending America’s warfighters from unfair and unfounded prosecution.
