The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, told reporters that he couldn't confirm some of the details on the raid shared by President Trump


Recommended Posts

US Special Operations forces have, in recent years, opted to move away from using helmet cams to relay real time footage because of the disorienting and sometimes violent nature of the images. There is also the fear that such footage encourages instant intervention from command centers, the New York Times reports. 

Milley's response Monday came after Defense Secretary Mark Esper was essentially asked the same question on Sunday. 

He answered the same way.  

'I don't have those details. The president probably had the opportunity to talk to the commanders on the ground,' Esper said. 

The commandos were wearing body cameras, but these did not broadcast in real time due to the nature of the operation.

This footage can be downloaded and reviewed after the operation finished, according to Pentagon officials. 

A Defense Department source told the New York Times it was possible Trump spoke to either the Delta Force operators involved in the raid or their superiors.

Milley also could not confirm the president’s description of Baghdadi as “whimpering and crying” in his final moments.

The officer told reporters he did not know who Trump’s source was for the claim but suspected he had talked “directly to the unit members.”
