The president had reportedly been considering issuing some pardons on Memorial Day, a prospect that prompted considerable criticism.
By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow May 24 at 2:00 PM President Trump acknowledged Friday that his consideration of pardons for U.S. service members accused or convicted of war crimes is “a little bit controversial” and suggested he would not be making decisions before Memorial Day.
“Some of these soldiers are people that have fought hard, long,” Trump said. “You know, we teach them how to be great fighters, and then when they fight, sometimes they get treated very unfairly. Trump also directed the Navy to remove Special Warfare Operator Chief Edward Gallagher from a military brig as he faces a murder charge in the death of an Islamic State detainee. Gallagher is now restricted to his base.
