President Donald Trump appeared to ignore the wishes of the families of fallen soldiers to keep the most recent dignified transfer private, according to a new report.
HuffPost reported on Thursday that Trump posted multiple pictures of himself on social media attending the dignified transfer of soldiers who were killed in action as a result of the U.S. war in Iran, even after the families asked the president to keep the event private. The photos included the transfer of one of the bodies.
"Hours after barring the news media from witnessing the return of six service members killed in Donald Trump’s Iran war, his White House posted images from the service on social media, including several showing the transfer case of at least one of the bodies," the outlet reported.
"One of the photos posted to X shows Trump at the 'dignified transfer,' as the military calls them, with the forward part of the flag-draped case visible as airmen carried it off the C-17 transport plane," the report added. "In two others posted to the White House Flickr account, a transfer case is visible as airmen load it into a van."
