President Trump’s national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, is scheduled to attend the unveiling of a painting today honoring slain ISIS hostage Kayla Mueller, according to ABC15 Arizona.
The painting reportedly commemorates the 2019 military raid, named for Mueller, that killed ISIS terrorist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Syria.
O’Brien will be joined by Kayla’s parents, Marsha and Carl Mueller, and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) at the ceremony, scheduled to take place at the Goldwater Air National Guard Base in Phoenix. Following the unveiling, it will be transferred to the Arizona Capitol, where it will be on display for the public to view.
Vice President Pence invoked Mueller on Wednesday as he touted what he described as President Trump’s foreign policy accomplishments in his debate against Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Mueller’s parents were Pence’s guests in the debate hall in Salt Lake City.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Trump administration announced criminal charges against two alleged members of the cell that killed Muller. The “Beatles,” as they were known, faced a judge in a Virginia federal court.
Mueller, a native of Prescott, Ariz., was a humanitarian worker who was abducted by ISIS in 2013 and killed in 2015.
