Trump to take imminent action on cases of three military members accused of war crimes
By David Montanaro | Fox News
President Trump says action is imminent on the war crimes cases of Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance, Army Green Beret Major Matt Golsteyn and Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher. Fox News' Pete Hegseth reveals the exclusive details.
President Trump will take "imminent" action on the cases of three former U.S. military service members accused of war crimes, Fox News' Pete Hegseth reported Monday.
Speaking on "Fox & Friends," Hegseth said Trump - who ordered the review of the charges against Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance and Army Green Beret Maj. Matt Golsteyn - will be meeting with Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy about the cases and an announcement could come within a week.
"It doesn't have to be a pardon or a commutation," Hegseth said. "It could be, but pardons and commutations imply guilt, that you've done something wrong and you need to be forgiven for that. The president, as the commander-in-chief, has a lot of latitude under the Uniform Code of Military Justice to dismiss a case or change a sentence. From what I understand, that is likely what will happen here shortly."
