President Trump has once again weighed in on potential disciplinary action against Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, appearing to override a Navy decision to initiate a review that could result in him being stripped of his status as a SEAL.
The Navy's review could have led to Gallagher's expulsion from the elite warfare community, according to officials directly familiar with the matter."The Navy will NOT be taking away Warfighter and Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher's Trident Pin. This case was handled very badly from the beginning. Get back to business!" Trump tweeted Thursday morning.
'After news of the Navy's review of Gallagher's SEAL status broke Tuesday, Parlatore told CNN that Trump's decision to restore Gallagher's rank meant that any additional punishments would go against the President's intent."It's incredible that they still can't let this go," Parlatore said, adding that the Navy's leadership was choosing to"essentially ignore" Trump's decision.
