Washington (CNN)US Navy leadership is emphasizing "responsibility for ethical and professional behavior" in the wake of a controversy over President Donald Trump's intervention in a war crimes case involving a Navy SEAL and the subsequent ousting of Navy Secretary Richard Spencer.
Adm. Michael Gilday, the chief of naval operations who remains the top admiral following Spencer's exit, told all personnel in a memo obtained by CNN on Monday that he expects "Commanders at every level to epitomize integrity and exemplify our core values at all times." All sailors, he said, must "display the character and honor that has always defined our Navy."
