Sanger">DAVID SANGER</a>, The New York Times: Well, the process was somewhat unusual, Hari. Usually, a president goes down in the Situation Room, is presented with what they call a full package for the attack. There’s a legal assessment of the legal authorities under which they’re doing these. There’s a risk assessment to the commandos who would be doing it. There is a risk assessment of what could happen to civilians who are in the area. ... And it looks like President Trump got briefed on it, by and large, at a dinner, not in the Situation Room, not with legal advisers around. His secretary of defense, Jim Mattis, was there. Vice President Pence was there. Stephen Bannon, who has emerged as the newest member of the National Security Council, known really more for his political advice than military, was there. So was his new national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who is a veteran of many of these. But the discussion took place in a dinner situation. And he approved the raid at that dinner."</li> <li>David E.
