NYT article on an aborted classified mission to N Korea, greenlit by trump in 2019.
The SEAL team mission was aborted when a boat appeared on the scene. Crew members (civilians diving for shellfish) were shot dead; lungs were punctured with knives to ensure their bodies would sink.
Congress was not notified before or after the mission.
Military reviews during trump’s first term found the killing of civilians as justified under the rules of engagement.
