The Navy SEALs who served alongside Special Operations Chief Eddie Gallagher described their platoon leader as 'freaking evil' and 'toxic,' according to new video recordings conducted by criminal investigators.
Eddie Gallagher has pleaded not guilty to allegations that he killed an ISIS combatant who was brought to him for medical treatment.
Navy Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher celebrates with his wife Andrea after being acquitted of premeditated murder at Naval Base San Diego. July 2, 2019, in San Diego, Calif. In a phone interview with ABC News on Friday, Gallagher's attorney said the Times chose selectively from the video recordings and text messages which in their entirety show"inconsistencies" in the SEALs' stories and were"extremely helpful" to his defense.
He also claimed that the messages lack proper context and show a level of coordination between the SEAL members against their platoon leader as the court case against Gallagher struggled. However, the Times said the video recordings and texts did not reveal"coordinated deception" and instead"show men who were hesitant to come forward, but who urged one another to resist outside pressure and threats of violence, and to be honest."
