The chief official White House photographer for former Presidents Reagan and Obama inferred the Trump administration of posing for Saturday's stern-faced Situation Room picture.

"The raid, as reported, took place at 3:30PM Washington time. The photo, as shown in the camera IPTC data, was taken at '17:05:24,'" Souza remarked on Twitter Sunday. He was replying to a tweet from White House Director of Social Media and Assistant to the President, Dan Scavino Jr.

The al-Baghdadi Situation Room photo Saturday showed Trump; Pence; National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien; Secretary of Defense Mark Esper; Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff U.S. Army General Mark A. Milley; and Brig. Gen. Marcus Evans, Deputy Director for Special Operations on the Joint Staff. All six men are shown in stiff, postured stances, giving squinted glares toward the camera.

Another Twitter user said it didn't seem unreasonable that Trump and the generals"were still there 2 hours later waiting for the crew to return to the base," when the picture was taken."Sure, it's possible," Souza replied.
