On Wednesday, the president tweeted an image from the Daily Wire that pictured the dog receiving a Medal of Honor. However, the dogs head was pasted onto the body of a real Medal of Honor hero, Vietnam War medic James McCloughlin, whom the president gave the prestigious award to in 2017.

The parents of the American hostage murdered by ISIS are talking to Inside Edition after the operation to kill the leader of the terrorist organization was named for her.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader ISIS, had been in hiding for the last five years. (CNN) - President Donald Trump declared Sunday morning that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was dead after a US military raid in northwest Syria over the weekend. "Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead," Trump said at the White House, calling the ISIS leader's removal "the top national security priority of my administration." The President said a US special operations forces mission went after the ISIS leader and there were no US deaths during the operation. Esper described the death of the ISIS leader as a "devastating blow" to ISIS.

Burak Kara/Getty Images(CNN) - The situation in Syria has been rapidly deteriorating. Last week, the Trump administration ordered US troops to step aside from the border in northern Syria, effectively paving the way for Turkey to launch an offensive against US-backed Kurdish forces who they regard as enemies. Turkey's advance, and America's departure, led the abandoned Syrian Kurds to enter into a deal with the Syrian government, in a major shift. Before the Syrian civil war started more than eight years ago, the Syrian Kurds had an accommodation with the regime in Damascus. Turkey will have to fight or come to an agreement with the Russia-backed Syrian regime, whose forces are on a collision course.

McConnell urged Trump to reverse his move, saying "a precipitous withdrawal of US forces from Syria would only benefit Russia, Iran, and the Assad regime." "Major new conflict between Turkey and our partners in Syria would seriously risk damaging Turkey's ties to the United States and causing greater isolation for Turkey on the world stage. Other Republican allies of the President, including Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. Liz Cheney, the number three House Republican, objected to Trump's decision. The comments from the Republicans came hours after the White House made the announcement Sunday night following a phone call between Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The group, long considered as among Washington's most reliable partners in Syria, has played a key strategic role in the campaign against ISIS in the region.

"We assess ISIS in the Greater Sahara probably has at least 150 fighters. "As seen in public reporting, ISIS in the Greater Sahara has steadily increased attacks southward in Niger and in eastern Burkina Faso," she added. But the group "probably lacks external support from ISIS core, and its ties to other ISIS branches probably are minimal," she said.

The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces are currently holding more than 2,000 foreign ISIS fighters from over 50 countries in makeshift detention facilities in addition to some 8,000 Syrian and Iraqi prisoners.

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images(CNN) - The FBI has seen a significant rise in the number of white supremacist domestic terrorism cases in recent months, a senior FBI counterterrorism official said Thursday. The domestic terror cases generally include suspects involved in violence related to anti-government views, racial or religious bias, environmental extremism and abortion-related views. The FBI wouldn't provide specific numbers to quantify the increase of in the number of white supremacist domestic terrorism cases. Unlike international terrorism investigations, domestic terrorism cases pose thornier issues for the FBI because of First Amendment protections. The US doesn't have a domestic terrorism law and no government agency designates domestic groups as being terrorist organizations.

Giorgio Kirylo, who was deployed in Mosul with Gallagher in 2017, testified that he did not see stab wounds on the ISIS detainee's neck.
