Craighead described the meaningful personal and financial costs of publishing his book &#8220;One Man In,&#8221; including selling his medals to cover over $130,000 in legal fees and fearing arrest if he returns to the UK. He recounted his heroic efforts in rescuing hundreds during the attack, which was carried out by al-Shabaab militants, and expressed frustration over the government&#8217;s efforts to silence him despite his story being widely publicized. Since leaving the SAS, Craighead has supported security for donald Trump and appeared at his campaign events.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Former Special Air Service operator Christian Craighead was hit with an injunction by the British government during an interview on the \u201cShawn Ryan Show\u201d released Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Craighead, who was awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross for his actions in a 2019 terrorist attack on a hotel in Nairobi, Kenya, wrote a book about his experience with the elite special-operations unit, the Daily Mail <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.com\/news\/article-16134381\/SAS-veteran-defies-brass-tell-Nairobi-terror-heroics.html\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">During an <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ShawnRyan762\/status\/2100283574796558662\">interview<\/a> with podcaster Shawn Ryan, Craighead revealed just how expensive the legal battle over his book, \u201cOne Man In,\u201d had become as Ryan mentioned Craighead received an  regarding an injunction. <b><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">During the interview, Ryan noted that the British government was seeking to serve Craighead with an injunction in the United States. Ryan recommended that Craighead talk with attorney Tim Parliatore, who previously represented Ryan and whose past clients included President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cThere is nobody better for this shit and that dude will fuck these people up,\u201d Ryan told Craighead, recounting past legal clashes, including one with Republican Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cThey just don\u2019t want me to tell the story. It\u2019s a story that most of the world saw. It was on all the newspapers,\u201d Craighead told Ryan. \u201cThis does not break the Official Secrets Act. They\u2019re just desperate for me not to tell the story. Why? Why would you want to try and stop this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">During the 2019 attack, five men tied to the radical Islamic terrorist group al-Shabaab, including one who carried out a murder-suicide bombing, attacked the DusitD2\u00a0Hotel, <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/us\/articles\/judge-blocks-sas-hero-releasing-181428249.html\">according<\/a> to the London Telegraph.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Craighead spent 22 hours rescuing hundreds of people from the hotel while serving as a liaison officer with the Kenyan military<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cI sold my medals to pay for my legal fees. This book has cost me personally over $130,000 to publish so far. I can\u2019t ever go back to the UK. I\u2019ll be arrested,\u201d Craighead told Ryan during the interview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cTheir mission is just to destroy. But I\u2019m thankful because I think it\u2019s part of the plan. If they\u2019d just let the original book come out in 2021, it would have done well and then it just would have been a thing. Now everyone wants to know about this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Since leaving the SAS, Craighead helped provide security for President Donald Trump and spoke at a rally during Trump\u2019s 2024 presidential campaign, <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2024\/05\/18\/british-sas-kenya-attack-war-hero-boost-trump-president-bid\/\">according<\/a> to the London Telegraph.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimer\">\n<p>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-weighs-in-on-deadly-subway-clash-after-desantis-calls-marine-a-good-samaritan\/\" title=\"Trump Weighs In on Deadly Subway Clash After DeSantis Calls Marine a &#039;Good Samaritan&#039;\">nonpartisan newswire service<\/a>, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
