If the critique is that trump has said he has authorised "covert" CIA action. Where exactly in the piece does he say that?
I can't see any quote attributed to Trump (and there's hardly any quotes from him in the article, by the way) where he says he has authorised
covert CIA action.
The NYT and the WP are saying he has authorised "covert" action, he hasn't.
He's not said anything in those two articles that imply what he's going to do, how he's going to it, or when. The only quote in both article that would imply any action is about to be done is:

From that one quote you have these two articles.
The rest is fluff from unnamed and uncorroborated "people familiar with the matter", or "former US officials said"
