Americans have been left shocked and, frankly, deeply rattled over a disturbing revelation contained in an explosive new-tell hitting the shelves this week, confirming the inappropriate role now-former First Lady Melania Trump played in the White House Situation Room, where she allegedly erroneously advised her husband during the infamous October 2019 raid to kill ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi โ€” even playing a very large role in Donaldโ€™s notorious stories about hero military dog, Conan.

The unsettling revelation hails from former Defense Secretary Christopher Millerโ€™s bombshell new memoir, Soldier Secretary: Warnings from the Battlefield & the Pentagon about Americaโ€™s Most Dangerous Enemies. During Millerโ€™s time on the National Security Council during the Trump Administration, Al Baghdadi was considered the worldโ€™s most wanted terrorist. Miller served as Trumpโ€™s senior adviser for counterterrorism before going on to serve as head of the Pentagon in the now-former presidentโ€™s Cabinet.

In his explosive tell-all, Miller describes being in the Situation Room during the historic raid and goes on to write about the rattling shock experienced among military officials in the room upon witnessing then-First Lady Melania Trump joining officials to bear witness to the top-secret operation playing out in real-time.

โ€œSecretary of Defense Mark Esper quickly gave up his seat and she sat down next to the President, who introduced her to us as if we didnโ€™t know who she was. Her presence was unexpected, to say the least,โ€ Miller writes. โ€œI wondered how it would play in the press if word got out that the First Lady had popped in to watch a major military operation,โ€ the former NatSec official goes on to reveal, before adding, โ€œNot my problem, I figured. And after all, it was her house.โ€

Millerโ€™s bombshell tell-all is the first time that Melania Trumpโ€™s alleged presence in the White House Situation Room, during the infamous, top-secret military operation, has been reported on.

The former Trump Era official writes that Donald personally instructed then-Deputy Director for Special Operations on the Joint Staff Brig. Gen. Marcus Evans to bring his wife โ€œup to speedโ€ on the situation. Following a quick briefing, Evans told the group of officials, and Melania, that the โ€œUS assault force had unleashed their combat dogโ€ into the building where al-Baghdadi was, with โ€œour commandos close behind.โ€

Miller writes of the moment when Abu Bakr came to realize that he was cornered by US forces, and proceeded to detonate the suicide vest he was wearing, killing himself, two of his children, and two of his wives.

The former Secretary of Defense goes on to recall Trump questioning what would happen with their bodies, following the operation, asking, โ€œDonโ€™t you think ISIS will parade their bodies around and make it look like they were innocent?โ€

According to Miller, the then-Commander in Chief began to question how to best go about addressing the American people regarding the operation, prompting his wife to chime in with her own suggestions. Miller quotes Melania telling her husband, โ€œYou should talk about the dog.โ€ Miller writes that Melania โ€œtook overโ€ the conversation at that point, noting that โ€œeveryone loves dogs.โ€

Conan, a Belgian Malinois, was said to have played a pivotal role in the high-stakes military operation, aiding US military special forces in tracking al-Baghdadi through a tunnel during the Syria raid. Conan was injured during the operation, but made a speedy recovery and was met with praise and accolades in the States.

Trump very clearly took his wifeโ€™s advice on the matter of Conan, referring to the military dog as โ€œOur โ€˜K-9,โ€™ as they call it,โ€ adding, โ€œI call it a dog. A beautiful dog โ€” a talented dog โ€” was injured and brought back.โ€ The now scandal-ridden former president would go on to hold an award ceremony in Conanโ€™s honor in the White House Rose Garden, where Trump presented the pooch with an award and plaque for his monumental service to this nation.

โ€œConan did a fantastic job and weโ€™re very honored to have Conan here and to have given Conan a certificate and an award,โ€ Trump declared during the White House ceremony.
