Trump Met with Accused War Criminal Eddie Gallagher

HeadlineDec 24, 2019

President Trump met with accused war criminal Eddie Gallagher, a month after Trump overruled his own military leaders and granted clemency to three U.S. servicemembers who have been accused or convicted of war crimes — including Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher. Instagram photos show the two meeting at Trump’s private resort Mar-a-Lago in Florida over the weekend. Gallagher has been accused of multiple war crimes, including shooting two Iraqi civilians and fatally stabbing a captive teenager in the neck. Gallagher was convicted of posing with the teenage corpse, but acquitted of premeditated murder.
