Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, criticizes America's stance on the world stage at the hands of President Joe Biden in an exclusive interview on'Sunday Morning Futures.' White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan was pressed in an interview Sunday over an alleged civilian casualty – a father of 10 who was tending sheep – by U.S. forces in Syria. CNN's Jake Tapper asked Sullivan about the reportedly botched missile strike, which the Pentagon initially claimed was a successful assassination of a "senior Al Qaeda leader," but later backtracked and launched an investigation. Sullivan said he could not comment on the matter until the Pentagon's "full and thorough investigation" was complete – and instead touted President Biden's record on military accountability. "It was President Biden who stood up with Secretary Austin's guidelines for this administration to ensure there would be accountability and oversight of any potential civilian casualties from counterterrorism strikes," Sullivan said. "So far we do not have evidence to validate the claims being made in Syria. But I am going to withhold any judgment on what actually happened here until the Pentagon's investigation is complete."
