He wants the Pentagon and the head of the naval special operations, Rear Admiral Collin Green, to end this process. He said the Navy indicates his Trident review board will continue. I talked to Jeremiah Sullivan, who is the attorney for Lieutenant Portier. Portier's case was thrown out by the chief of naval operations after the Gallagher trial.

It was just last week when Chief Petty Officer Eddie Gallagher was facing the real possibility of being kicked out of the Navy SEALs.
