Washington (CNN) A Navy SEAL who helped kill Osama bin Laden allegedly kept an unauthorized photo of his corpse, The Intercept reported Tuesday.

Matthew Bissonnette turned over a hard drive that contained the photo to U.S. investigators in exchange for an agreement that he wouldn't be prosecuted for unlawfully possessing classified material, according to the The Intercept.

CNN cannot independently confirm this report. Naval Special Warfare Command referred CNN to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and calls to NCIS were not returned.

Bissonnette's lawyer, Robert Luskin, declined to comment to CNN on the contents of The Intercept article, the specifics of the information in question and whether there has been any ongoing contact between the Pentagon and Bissonnette's legal representation.
