President Trump said Friday that he isn't concerned about the state of the USS Abraham Lincoln, despite calls from lawmakers to investigate reports of mental health issues for those onboard.
Why it matters: The San Diego-based aircraft carrier has been deployed for nine months, and numerous reports have indicated that crew members' families were concerned about a lack of food and other basic supplies.
What they're saying: Speaking to reporters Friday, Trump said he didn't think the ship had been deployed "nearly long enough."
- He also disputed that the family members of the crew where concerned about their well-being, and pointed toward the USS George Washington coming to relieve the Lincoln from its Middle East deployment.
