Questions have been raised about Donald Trump's dramatic description of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's death.

US special forces carried out a raid on Baghdadi's compound in Syria and his death was announced in a press conference on Sunday, with Trump claiming Baghdadi "died like a dog" and was "whimpering, crying and screaming all the way".

However, the United States' most senior military official General Mark Milley was unable to corroborate this description.

Cal Thomas and Marion McKeone discussed this and more in our US slot.
