House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) expressed support for President Donald Trump’s decision to grant pardons to two U.S. servicemen accused of war crimes, saying that it could improve troop morale.
Trump granted clemency to Army First Lieutenant Clint Lorance and Army Major Mathew Golsteyn last Friday despite concerns that it could undermine the military justice system. He also signed an order restoring the rank of Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher.
