Trump nixes Hegseth’s plan to broadcast execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hassan
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported38m ago
President Donald Trump has cancelled a plan by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to livestream the military execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hassan. Trump intervened to overrule the defense chief after Hegseth announced the broadcast without prior notification to the White House.
The proposed live broadcast drew immediate objections from international observers and fellow Republicans. Meanwhile, leaders within the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), whose pastors are allies of Hegseth, had backed the public execution plan, with one church leader openly stating a preference for public executions over private ones.
