Hegseth Under Pressure Over Boat Strike Video
7 weeks ago
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he is still weighing whether to release the full video of a deadly strike on an alleged drug boat.
He provided a classified briefing Tuesday to congressional leaders alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other top national security officials.
Lawmakers, including Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, are demanding the footage, calling the briefing “very unsatisfying.” Congress is threatening to withhold Hegseth’s travel funds unless the Pentagon provides the unedited video.
