In a White House statement, Trump called the raid "successful" and said it resulted in the capture of intelligence that would "assist the U.S. in preventing terrorism against its citizens and people around the world."
I'm not trying to defend Trump here, but looks like business as usual here and we wouldn't hear about this if it wasn't for Trump.
