CommentMaggie HabermanDecember 10, 2019President Donald Trump brought two soldiers he had pardoned in cases involving war crimes onstage at a fundraiser this weekend in Florida, tightening his embrace of an episode that roiled his relationship with military leaders and prompted a public outcry.
The fundraiser, which was held Saturday at the J.W. Marriott Turnberry Resort and Spa in Aventura, Florida, and benefited the Republican Party of Florida, was closed to reporters. A Republican official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the event, said that the officers were guests of an attendee and that they had not been part of the program. Trump appears to have called them up upon learning they were there.
Lorance was serving a 19-year sentence for directing soldiers in his command to shoot unarmed villagers, killing two men, in 2012. Officials at the White House and the Republican Party of Florida did not respond to requests for comment.
