I Know Nothing About It': Trump Pleads Ignorance on Deadly Navy SEAL Raid
"On Friday, The New York Times reported that in 2019, Trump approved a Navy SEAL mission to install a bug ahead of his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Operating without drone support and mistaking a fishing boat for a threat, SEALs opened fire, killing two or three unarmed civilians. The civilians' lungs were allegedly punctured so they would sink."
"The president appeared in front of reporters in the Oval Office on Friday to sign several executive orders including the name change of the Department of Defense to the Department of War when he was asked by CBS's Jennifer Jacobs, If the administration has engaged with North Korea, since the failed mission. I don't know anything about it, no, Trump responded. I could look, but I know nothing about it."
A 2019 Navy SEAL mission was reportedly approved to install a surveillance device ahead of a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The raid operated without drone support, misidentified a fishing boat as a threat, and resulted in SEALs opening fire and killing two or three unarmed civilians. The victims' lungs were allegedly punctured so they would sink. The president, while signing executive orders in the Oval Office, was asked about engagement with North Korea since the mission and repeatedly denied any knowledge, saying he was hearing about the incident for the first time.
