President Trump's Twitter trail has raised questions about his precise whereabouts inside the White House while the U.S. raid in Yemen that resulted in the death of a Navy SEAL was underway.

On the night of the raid, which targeted a top Al Qaeda leader in the Arabian Peninsula leader in Yemen, Trump sent out a tweet about an upcoming media appearance.

'I will be interviewed by @TheBrodyFile on tonight at 11pm. Enjoy!' Trump wrote on January 28. The tweet got taken down about 20 minutes later.

The tweet went out as the Yemen operation – the first military strike Trump ordered as president – was underway the Huffington Post reported.

It isn't certain that the president wrote it himself. Many of his tweets are dictated to staff, and some are posted by aide Dan Scavino, the White House director of social media.

The publication raised the possibility that the tweet got taken down because the operation wasn't going well, and it might have appeared crass to be posting about an upcoming media appearance.

The White House says otherwise – explaining that it got taken down because it contained inaccurate information about when the interview would air.

'The tweet was removed because the interview was not on January 28th as indicated- 'tonight at 11pm,' a White House spokeswoman told DailyMail.com.

The network informed the White House that the interview would air the following day. 'So it went up the next evening a few hours before the show aired....nothing to do with anything else but proper time/day of show airing.'

The raid resulted in the death of SEAL Ryan Owens. Also killed was the eight-year old daughter of deceased terror figure and U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlawki.

The operation also resulted in civilian deaths of civilians and the destruction of a $90 million Osprey aircraft. The administration says 14 Al Qaeda members got killed and valuable intelligence was obtained.

The publication said the White House didn't directly respond to inquiries about what the president was doing while the raid unfolded. Trump was on the White House grounds that night, inside the residence – which would place him away from the Situation Room.

'He was obviously aware of the strike occurring,' White House press secretary Sean Spicer following the raid. 'He was kept in constant contact Saturday night of the status of the mission, both of the success that it had and the tragic loss of life that occurred to that member.'

A Tweet from Trump's personal account touted an upcoming TV appearance. It was send while the raid was underway, although it isn't clear who posted the Tweet

Trump also held a phone call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that day.

'Obviously, if a raid is only 20 minutes in, you should wait to see how it turns out before tweeting,' security aide to President Obama told the publication.

Following the raid, it was revealed that the president was briefed on the operation over dinner, rather than holding a briefing in the Situation Room, where Obama sat during the raid that resulted in the death of Osama Bin Laden.

The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

A leading target, Qassim al-Rimi, either got away or wasn't there.

Trump in a series of tweets defended the raid as a 'winning' message, and blasted Arizona Senator John McCain for challenging it. 'Trump said McCain's response only emboldens the enemy.' He said the former POW doesn't know 'how to win anymore.'

'He’s been losing so long he doesn’t know how to win anymore, just look at the mess our country is in,' Trump wrote.

'While many of the objectives of the recent raid in Yemen were met, I would not describe any operation that results in the loss of American life as a success,' McCain said after the raid.

Trump was briefed on the raid over a dinner attended by advisors Steven Bannon, son-in-law Jared Kushner, Defense Secretary James Mattis, and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff Gen. Joseph Dunford, the New York Times reported.
