Eddie Gallagher's Attorney Says He'll Sue NY Times, Claiming 'Fake Reporting'
 [Mil.com] Hours after a bombshell report showed Navy SEALs making damning claims against their former platoon leader, Eddie Gallagher's attorney said he's planning to file a lawsuit against the reporter who broke the story.Gallagher, who recently retired as a Navy chief petty officer after President Donald Trump intervened in his long legal plight, was back in the headlines Friday when The New York Times published video footage it obtained of several SEALs accusing their leader of war crimes. The footage includes serious accusations of a combat-hungry Gallagher firing indiscriminately at Iraqi civilians. One SEAL claimed Gallagher targeted women and children, according to the Times' footage, with the chief boasting that "burqas were flying." Gallagher's teammates called the former SEAL "toxic" and "freaking evil." The chief was "perfectly OK with killing anybody that was moving," claimed Special Operator 1st Class Corey Scott, who later changed his story and testified that he, not Gallagher, was responsible for a man's death in Iraq in 2017.
