4 Sept: Pentagon Says It Will Close ‘Stars and Stripes,’ But Trump Says It Won’t Happen
By Greg Myre | NPR
The Pentagon ordered the closure of the venerable military newspaper Stars and Stripes on Friday. But hours later, President Trump tweeted that he wouldn’t allow that to happen “under my watch.”
The twists and turns played out as Trump faced a firestorm of criticism for reportedly calling American Marines who died in World War I “losers” and “suckers.” Trump vehemently denied the remarks, though several news organizations have cited sources saying he made the statements in 2018 during a trip to France...
The office of Defense Secretary Mark Esper “decided to discontinue the publication of States and Stripes as a result of the defense-wide review as outlined in the president’s budget request for fiscal year 2021,” the memo said. Trump then tweeted on Friday afternoon...
Since becoming defense secretary, Esper has spoken to the press infrequently. Esper’s uncle, George Esper, was a longtime AP correspondent best known for covering the Vietnam War from its early years to the end of the fighting in 1975.

1 Jul: NPR: Greg Myre: Russian Bounty Intel Sparks Confusion Over How President Is Briefed
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST: ...Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice writes this morning in The New York Times that that doesn’t matter. If she had known, she writes, she would have told the president, and people in any previous administration would have done the same.
So how does the process work? NPR national security correspondent Greg Myre is on the line...
MYRE: Well, from what we’re seeing in some of the reporting is that there were some Taliban members who were captured in a raid about six months ago. And they were interrogated, and a large pile of cash was uncovered. And The New York Times is reporting today that U.S. intelligence found evidence of financial transfers from Russia to a Taliban-linked account. But the U.S. intelligence community is still assessing, and there’s no consensus. And this is a classic problem for the intelligence community. You have to put together a puzzle with missing pieces.
And I spoke about this with Dan Hoffman. He’s a former CIA officer who was the Moscow station chief and also worked in the Middle East...
MYRE: Right. Exactly, Steve. And the CIA seems to be driving this, seems to be the agency that feels most strongly that this Russian bounty program is real, but we’ve seen very unusual development the past couple of days, where the defense secretary, the national security adviser, the director of national intelligence have all issued statements saying they can’t confirm the bounty program, at least at this point. And Trump, as you noted, has said he was never told about the program before it broke in the news, but we are seeing reports that he might have been briefed as early as February...
