Trump Attacks Admiral McRaven, Who Led Osama bin Laden Raid
-----------------------------------------------------------

President Trump is coming under fire after he attacked former Navy Seal
William Mc Raven-who oversaw the US operation that killed Osama bin
Laden-calling him a "Hillary Clinton fan" and an "Obama-backer" during
an interview with Fox News Sunday. In addition, Trump wondered why it
took so long for the U.S. to find bin Laden telling host Chris Wallace,
"Wouldn't it have been nice if we got Osama bin Laden a lot sooner than
that?" Admiral Mc Raven has condemned Trump's attacks on the media,
saying last year that they present, "the greatest threat to democracy in
my lifetime."
