A White House spokesperson said Sunday that President Donald Trump would likely "be supportive" of an investigation into a raid on an al-Qaida base in Yemen that resulted in the first U.S. military combat casualty since he took office.
"Does the President want an investigation?" George Stephanopoulos asked White House principal deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on ABC's "This Week."

Chief Special Warfare Operator William "Ryan" Owens died Jan. 28 of wounds sustained in Yemen during the first counter-terrorism operation of Trump's presidency. Trump traveled to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware in February to join Owens' family and meet his remains.
