President Donald Trump said this morning that his administration is considering releasing video footage of the U.S. special operations raid that resulted in the death of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
“We're thinking about it. We may,” Trump told reporters on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, en route to an event in Chicago. “We may take certain parts of it and release it, yes,” he said.
The president described his monitoring of the ISIS chief’s demise as being like 'watching a movie', though the overhead surveillance feeds he was viewing during the raid reportedly could not display what was happening in the underground tunnel where Baghdadi killed himself.
in his press conference, President Trump used vivid rhetoric that some critics deemed gratuitous. “He died like a coward. He was whimpering, screaming and crying,” Trump said, adding that Baghdadi and “the losers” under his command “were very frightened puppies.”
