Hegseth won’t publicly release video of military strike on boat survivors

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he won’t publicly release video of a military strike on a boat that killed survivors in the Caribbean. Hegseth was on Capitol Hill, where he told members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committee that they would be able to review the video this week. But he did not say whether all lawmakers would be allowed to see it, even as a defense policy bill demands that it be released to Congress. Hegseth and other administration officials defended the military campaign as a successful “counter drug mission” amid ongoing questions from lawmakers about the U-S military buildup near Venezuela.
