Trump, after bipartisan backlash, says Pentagon won’t livestream firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported6m ago
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the Pentagon will not live-stream the upcoming firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan. The reversal follows widespread bipartisan backlash and criticism from religious leaders and international observers after US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth initially revealed the livestream plans last week.
The unprecedented plan to broadcast the execution drew immediate opposition from members of Congress across both major political parties. Following the intense public outcry, the administration altered its course, canceling the broadcast of the extraordinary event.
