SAN DIEGO - A decorated Navy SEAL platoon leader charged with war crimes in Iraq appeared in a San Diego military court on Wednesday for a hearing focused on allegations by his attorneys that prosecutors engaged in illegal snooping on the defense team and journalists.
Defense assertions that the Navy prosecutor, together with agents of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and presiding judge, have engaged in wrongdoing could lead to a substantial delay in further proceedings. The software ostensibly was used in an effort to pinpoint the source of confidential information leaked to the press.Navy officials have declined to comment on those allegations, and much of the court record has been sealed.
The New York Times has reported that Trump was reviewing Gallagher’s case for a possible pardon, along with several other U.S. military personnel accused or convicted of war crimes.
