Donald Trump is considering intervening in the war crime cases of three soldiers ahead of Veteran's Day.

Fox News' Pete Hegseth said on 'Fox & Friends' Monday morning he had spoken to the president about the cases against Army 1st Lieutenant Clint Lorance, Army Green Beret Major Matt Golsteyn, and Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher.

'I was able to confirm yesterday from the president of the United States himself - the commander in chief - that action is imminent - especially the two cases of Clint Lorance and Matt Golsteyn and restoring the rank of Eddie Gallagher,' Hegseth announced.

'This president recognized the injustice of we train someone to fight and kill the enemy and then he kills the enemy in a way we don't like and we put them in jail or throw the book at them,' Hegseth said. 'With Veteran's Day coming up, action is imminent at the presidential level.'

Veteran's Day is Monday.

Hegseth did not provide details on what action President Trump make take in the cases other than to restore Gallagher's rank. Lorance was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder for actions in Afghanistan and Golsteyn is under investigation for murder of an Afghan man.

'It doesn't have to be a pardon or commutation - it could be but a pardon or commutation implies guilt,' Hegseth said. 'The president of the United States - under the military code of conduct - has a lot of latitude to change a case or dismiss a case or change a sentence - and from what I understand that could be case shortly.'

Lorance was a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army who, in August 2013, was found guilty on two counts of second-degree murder for ordering soldiers in his platoon to shoot two unarmed men on motorcycles in the Kandahar Province of Afghanistan in July 2012.

He was sentenced to 20 years in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

The men matched the descriptions of suspected Taliban scouts.

Golsteyn, a graduate of West Point, is accused of executing a suspected Taliban bomb maker in the Helmand Province nine years.

He volunteered that he killed the man in a job interview with the CIA in 2011. The Army opened an investigation but did not charge him, instead stripping the decorated combat veteran of a Silver Star and an elite Special Forces tab.

In November 2016, Golsteyn was a guest on a Fox News and was asked by Bret Baier if he had killed the suspected bomb-maker. Golsteyn responded 'yes'.

His admission resulted in the Army reopening the case. He could face life in prison if convicted.

His case has garnered much public attention - mainly after Trump tweeted about it, raising the question about the appropriateness of the president inserting himself into an ongoing criminal investigation.

Trump tweeted in December of last year he was considering intervening in Golsteyn's case.

'At the request of many, I will be reviewing the case of a 'U.S. Military hero,' Major Matt Golsteyn, who is charged with murder. He could face the death penalty from our own government after he admitted to killing a Terrorist bomb maker while overseas. @PeteHegseth @FoxNews,' he wrote.

And Trump praised Golsteyn again in October.

'The case of Major Mathew Golsteyn is now under review at the White House. Mathew is a highly decorated Green Beret who is being tried for killing a Taliban bombmaker. We train our boys to be killing machines, then prosecute them when they kill! @PeteHegseth,' he wrote.

Gallagher was accused of stabbing to death a 15-year-old ISIS fighter in 2017 and posing with the corpse for photos.

He was acquitted on almost all charges - including murder - but, in July 2019, was found guilty of posing for a photo with a corpse.

He was demoted from Chief Petty Officer to Petty Officer First Class at reduced pay.

Last week his family announced they would ask President Trump for a pardon.

Trump also has tweeted repeatedly about Gallagher and wrote in July, when Gallagher was acquitted of murder: 'Congratulations to Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher, his wonderful wife Andrea, and his entire family. You have been through much together. Glad I could help!'

Trump helped get Gallagher moved to 'less restrictive confinement' during the trial.
