“The country’s top military officer said on Monday that he does not know where President Trump got his information that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Islamic State leader, died ‘screaming, crying and whimpering,'” the New York Times reports.
“Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at a Pentagon news conference that he does not have similar information, but said Mr. Trump may have gotten his details from a conversation with military personnel on the ground who were involved in the raid.”
Said Milley: “I know the president had planned to talk down to the unit and unit members. But I don’t know what the source of that was. I assume it was talking directly to unit and unit members.”
