the pentagon but maybe the public doesn t get to know all the detail shlgs but they deserve basic details. four americans were killed in dapg rouse operation. one soldier, his body was left behind for two days. if the senate armed services committee chairman can t get basic information and he ll get information that none of us should see, we have a problem here. i think that s right and i think you know, despite the back and forth very unfortunate and unseemingly phone calls, the reality here is what s important i believe or the most important is what happened on the ground in niger. and yes, there is a pentagon review of this, but the white house has been unusually silent about this. and the president, we are told had a draft statement after politico reported this and we confirmed it that he had a draft statement on his desk that he was going to release the day after when there were three dead for sure and did not release it. the white house decide d not to release it. sarah sanders
