  • FACT CHECK: Did A Captured CIA Agent Claim Lloyd Austin Put A Bounty On General Berger? A post shared on Facebook purports a captured Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent alleged Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin put a bounty on U.S. Marine Corps Gen. David H. Berger. Verdict: False The claim stems from a satirical website. There is no evidence supporting the claim. Fact Check: Austin will convene a Ukraine Defense Contact Group session Thursday, the Department of Defense (DOD) said in a press release Tuesday. The defense secretary is also working on a plan to establish a military base in Morocco, according to the Middle East Monitor. The Facebook post purports a captured CIA agent alleged Austin put a bounty on Berger. The post further claims the agent supposedly told Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) interrogators that a team followed Berger before ambushing him. The bounty was purportedly $10 million dollars, according to an anonymous source in Assistant Marine Commandant Gen. Eric Smith’s office. The claim is false. There are no credible news reports suggesting Austin allegedly put a bounty on Berger or that a captured CIA agent made such a claim. Likewise, neither the DOD nor the CIA has mentioned the claim on their respective websites or verified social media accounts. In addition, Berger has not publicly commented on the claim. A keyword search reveals the claim stems from a Jan. 17 article published on the website “Real Raw News.” A disclaimer included on the site’s “About Us” page indicates it contains “humor, parody, and satire.” The latest article is a follow-up to two previous stories published on the site alleging Berger had been rescued by U.S. Marines after he had purportedly been “missing in action” since Jan. 6.

Check Your Fact has contacted DOD and NCIS spokespersons for comment and will update this piece accordingly if one is received.
