Congress Pressures Trump on Controversial Military Strike Video

Lawmakers in the US Congress are pushing for the release of a controversial military strike video, threatening to limit Defence Secretary Pete Hegseths travel budget until the Pentagon provides the unedited footage. The proposed restriction is part of a larger defense spending bill, supported by both major political parties. The issue centers around a double-tap attack on a vessel in September, where survivors were allegedly struck again, killing them. Lawmakers who viewed the video in a classified briefing had differing opinions, with some deeming the strikes deeply troubling and others entirely lawful and needful. Secretary Hegseth is set to brief top congressional lawmakers on the matter today. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
