After the White House finally backed off, Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, who was convicted in July of of illegally posing for pictures with the corpse of an Islamic State fighter, will now face a peer review that could result in his “ouster from the elite force.”
The decision defuses, at least for now, a potential clash between President Donald Trump and top U.S. Navy officials planning to convene a panel to decide if Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher should remain a SEAL, or be stripped of the trident pin denoting membership in the group.
