Washington: United States (US)
President Barack Obama has complete trust on Gen John Allen,
top
commander in Afghanistan and he will continue to lead the ISAF force in
the war-torn country,
White House spokesman said on Tuesday.
General John Allen is reportedly being
investigated for alleged “inappropriate communications” with Jill
Kelley, woman who is said to have received threatening emails from Paula
Broadwell.
An extramarital affair between
Broadwell, the author of David Petraeus’ biography, “All In”, and the
CIA chief led to his resignation on Friday.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the
spokesman Jay Carney rejected the view that President Obama was aware of
the scandal before the presidential elections and said that the
president came to know about the scandals of top US generals after
presidential race.
“President was surprised to know about
the scandals of the top military leaders,” Carney said adding that the
information regarding the scandals would soon be brought before the
nation.
