My guest at The New York Times, Dave Philipps, covered Gallagher's trial and interviewed many of the Navy SEALs who leveled the accusations against Gallagher. If you recall Gallagher's name, it might be because his cause was championed by President Trump and covered extensively on Fox News programs. The accusations came from SEALs in Gallagher's own platoon, who said he was also known for taking shots at civilians from his sniper's nest, killing at least two. Investigators said while Eddie Gallagher was leading a platoon of these elite commandos in the battle to retake Mosul, Iraq, from ISIS, he stabbed a defenseless prisoner to death. Navy SEAL was arrested and accused of some shocking crimes. I'm Dave Davies, in today for Terry Gross.
