The U.S. Navy is planning to announce a review into whether to remove a Navy SEAL whose rank was recently restored by President Donald Trump following a court martial, according to reports.

Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, 40, was acquitted by a military jury in July of committing war crimes—including killing a wounded Islamic State fighter—while deployed to Mosul in Iraq in 2017.
