The Department of Defense is investigating a US Marine who told a Trump rally he was "the guy that pulled the baby over the wall" in Kabul, Task & Purpose reported.

An August 19 video taken during the frenzied US military pullout from Kabul showed a US Marine hoisting a tiny baby girl over a razor-wire fence outside Kabul airport.

At a "Save America" rally in Perry, Georgia, on Saturday, Lance Cpl. Hunter Clark appeared to say he was that Marine.

"Hey my name's Lance Cpl. Hunter Clark. I'm here from Warner Robins, Georgia. I am the guy that pulled the baby over the wall, and it's definitely probably one of the greatest things I've ever done in my entire life," he said.

"I just want to thank all of the support from all of y'all. It really means a lot, and I'm glad to be home now today. Thank you."
