Hours after Kenneth Braithwaite was sworn in as Navy secretary, he was named in a lawsuit by a retired SEAL who claims service officials illegally leaked documents to a reporter in an attempt to smear him.
Eddie Gallagher, a former chief special warfare operator who was convicted of taking an improper photo with a corpse in a high-profile war crimes case last year, also named The New York Times reporter Dave Philipps in the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.
