The top U.S. commander for the Middle East told senators Thursday that he has completed an exhaustive review of the Yemen raid that killed a Navy SEAL, and has concluded there were no lapses in judgment or decision-making surrounding the operation.
Gen. Joseph Votel, who heads U.S. Central Command, said he sees no need for additional investigations into the January mission that triggered debate in Washington over what went wrong and whether important intelligence was actually gathered. It was the first military raid authorized by President Donald Trump.
Votel told the Senate Armed Services Committee that a separate investigation into potential civilian casualties found that between four and 12 innocent people were killed.
Actress Eliza Dushku, who gained fame on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Bring It On," said she has been sober for eight years after battling alcoholism and drug addiction.
WCVB reports the 36-year-old detailed her battle with alcohol and drug addiction at the New Hampshire Youth Summit on Opioid Awareness earlier this week.
She said she began to experiment with drugs at 14. She said she loved the way drugs made her feel.
She initially sought treatment after her brother told her he didn't want her around his daughter if she was using drugs and drinking heavily.
Now she said she's a "good auntie" and staying sober for herself.
She said drugs and alcohol are powerful, "but we're more powerful."
Dushku spoke at the request of Jim Wahlberg, brother of actor Mark Wahlberg, whose youth foundation sponsored the summit.
