Marine Corps commandant Robert Neller allowed critical, internal memos to be leaked to news outlets, according to US Defense Department officials cited in a Newsweek report.
Neller, a four-star general and a 44-year Marine Corps veteran, is said to have leaked the memos in an effort to warn the public of the negative impact of President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration.
"He didn't want the Marines and families at Camp Lejeune ... to get f---ed," one official reportedly said.
