McCain: Trump admin has not provided enough information on Niger attack
Senate Armed Service Chairman
John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday that the Trump administration has not provided enough information on the attack in Niger that killed four U.S. Green Berets.
Asked by The Hill whether the administration has been forthcoming on information on Niger, McCain said “no.”
“I had a better working relationship, as far as information back and forth, with Ash Carter than I do with an old friend of 20 years,” McCain added.
Carter was the last Defense secretary for the Obama administration, which McCain often slammed for defense policies he disagreed with.
Asked for clarification on if the friend is Defense Secretary
James Mattis, McCain said "yes" and added that includes National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, as well.
"I think they had this idea once that Trump won that we are a unicameral government," McCain said.
On Oct. 4, four U.S. Green Berets were killed and two more injured when their group of about a dozen U.S. soldiers and 40 Nigerien troops were ambushed during a joint patrol. The Pentagon has blamed self-radicalized, Islamic State in Iraq and Syria-affiliated militants for the attack.
President Trump did not personally comment on the attack
until Monday, when he said he would call the families of the fallen soldiers “at some point in the time” and falsely claimed that President Obama and other past president did not call Gold Star families.
