A Secret Navy SEAL Mission in North Korea Ended in Gunfire and Death. Trump never told Congress, an Omission That May Have Broken the Law.

I just read a breaking story in the New York Times that stopped me cold. It details a 2019 Navy SEAL mission on North Korean soil that has never been publicly acknowledged by the United States or by North Korea. The operation was authorized under Donald Trump, carried out by SEAL Team 6, and kept hidden from Congress. That secrecy may have broken the law.

Before we dive in, let me be clear. I support our military and our Navy SEALs, and I’m grateful for their service. The reason I’m sharing this breaking story is because it raises serious questions about possible illegal actions tied to Trump and his administration. I think it’s newsworthy, and you deserve to see it. Read the full New York Times article (my treat) via the link below and decide for yourself.

What Happened in North Korea

The mission was aimed at planting an electronic device that would allow U.S. intelligence to tap directly into Kim Jong-un’s communications during sensitive nuclear talks with Trump. It was so dangerous that it required the president’s direct approval. The SEALs trained for months, knowing that a single mistake could trigger a full-blown crisis.

When they hit the rocky shore under cover of night, everything went wrong. A boat appeared. Flashlights swept across the water. The SEALs opened fire and killed everyone on board. They left without completing the mission. No listening device was planted. No intelligence was gained. What remained was a deadly incident that could have ignited a wider conflict with a nuclear-armed adversary.

None of this was ever shared with the American people. None of this was shared with the congressional leaders tasked with overseeing intelligence operations. The secrecy surrounding this mission raises profound questions about accountability, legality, and the unchecked risks taken in America’s name.

This story matters because it shows how quickly secret decisions can put American lives, global stability, and our democracy at risk. Decisions have consequences and I’m not comfortable with the decisions being made by Trump and his administration.
