In early 2019, President Trump authorized a covert Navy SEAL Team 6 operation to install a surveillance device in North Korea, aiming to intercept communications during high-stakes nuclear negotiations . The mission went awry when SEALs encountered a North Korean fishing boat, mistakenly opened fire, and killed two to three unarmed civilians gathering shellfish . To conceal the error, the operatives sank the bodies. The listening device was never planted. The operation remained classified, and key Congressional intelligence committees were kept in the dark, raising legal and transparency concerns. (PC: NDTV)
