Summary

Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, who was convicted of posing with a hunting knife in a photo with a corpse of a dead Iraqi militant will be able to retire and retain his Trident pin. His controversial case was taken up by President Trump and led to the firing of Navy Secretary Richard Spencer. Fox’s National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin breaks down the story and explains why the president’s decision to intervene created some waves at the Pentagon. Many of the books about the Trump Administration rely on anonymous sources. Author and presidential historian Doug Wead wrote his newest book Inside Trump’s White House: The Real Story of His Presidency after spending time with President Trump and his family. Wead joins the podcast to share a preview of the stories. Plus, commentary by opinion-editor for The Washington Times Charlie Hurt. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
