USS Lincoln Sailor Facing Disciplinary Charges for Jumping Overboard
Psaki said the sailor was denied timely mental-health care and punished after months of poor conditions aboard the carrier.
- On Wednesday, Jen Psaki criticized the Navy for charging a 19-year-old sailor with "malingering" and "absence without leave" after he jumped overboard from the USS Abraham Lincoln in an apparent suicide attempt.
- The sailor's wife alleged he jumped on August 3 during a nine-month deployment and received no psychiatric support despite being hospitalized for five days at Balboa Naval Medical Center.
- Charging documents reveal the Navy accuses him of violating Articles 83 and 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, with potential loss of half his pay at an upcoming "captain's mast" hearing.
- Psaki called this disciplinary action "really just the latest, most egregious sign" that Pentagon leadership under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump has pushed service members to their limit.
- Rep. Sara Jacobs, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, continues demanding oversight regarding poor conditions aboard the returning Lincoln, where mental health struggles persist among more than 5,000 crew members.
