White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said it was not 'unreasonable' for someone in the Trump administration to have the U.S.S. John McCain moved in Japan last week.
White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said Sunday it was not"unreasonable" for someone in the Trump administration to have the U.S.S. John McCain moved out of sight of the president during his visit to Japan last week.
The Navy confirmed Saturday there was a request to"minimize the visibility" of the U.S.S. John McCain — named for the longtime Arizona senator and decorated war veteran who passed in 2018 — and Mulvaney said it was likely somebody in the Department of Homeland Security or Secret Service asked as a favor to Trump.
"I absolutely believe it was somebody on the advance team," Mulvaney told Chuck Todd on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday."An advance team is hundreds of people... The fact that some 23- or 24-year-old person on the advance team went to that site and said, 'Oh my goodness there's the John McCain.
