Donald Trump says he will block military from removing Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will block possible military efforts to remove the Navy SEAL whose demotion over a war crimes charge he reversed last week.

"The Navy will NOT be taking away Warfighter and Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher’s Trident Pin," Trump tweeted. "This case was handled very badly from the beginning. Get back to business!"

Gallagher is one of the three defendants in war crimes cases in which Trump intervened last week, issuing pardons to two soldiers and restoring Gallagher's rank and pay.

Gallagher was accused of using a knife to murder a teenage Islamic State prisoner in Iraq and of killing other civilians. A military court found Gallagher not guilty of the most serious charges in July but convicted him of posing for a photo with the ISIS victim.

The Navy has since said it plans to review Gallagher's status as Navy SEAL, a decision that would likely result in Gallagher being removed from the elite commando community – the development Trump has vowed to block.
