The Navy has been notified that the White House will not intervene to stop a disciplinary proceeding that could cost a SEAL his position in the elite unit, senior Navy official says.
The Navy on Wednesday had notified Gallagher that he will face the review board to determine if he should remain on the elite force.
Spencer, speaking on the sidelines of the Halifax International Security Forum, said if the president requests the process to stop, the process stops. Despite the differing views with the president over the appropriate handling of the case, Spencer told reporters that he has not threatened to resign. But he acknowledged that he serves at the pleasure of the president.
Gallagher's lawyers have accused the Navy of trying to remove the SEAL designation in retaliation for Trump’s decision to restore his rank.
