Photo: Tasto Katopodis/Getty Images When Donald Trump announced Sunday morning that U.S. Special Operations forces had killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, he reveled in the last moments of the “world’s number one terrorist leader.”
But two days after the announcement, it’s still unclear where Trump’s information on al-Baghdadi’s last moments came from. The Pentagon has been unable to confirm that al-Baghdadi was “whimpering, screaming and crying,” and the Daily Beast reports that senior administration officials have “no clue” where Trump got his information.
Trump himself wouldn’t say how he knew about al-Baghdadi’s tears Sunday. “I don’t want to talk about it,” he said when a reporter asked if he could hear the sounds on his video feed. We now know the answer to that question. Trump couldn’t have heard al-Baghdadi because the live stream he watched from the Situation Room Saturday did not include audio.
