Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the Pentagon will not publicly release unedited video of a strike that killed two survivors of an initial attack on a boat allegedly carrying cocaine in the Caribbean. Hegseth said that members of the Armed Services committees in the House and Senate would have an opportunity this week to review the video. But he did not say whether all members of Congress would be allowed to see it as well, even though a defense policy bill demands that it be released to Congress. President Donald Trump’s Cabinet members overseeing national security were on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to defend the swift escalation of U.S. military forces and deadly boat strikes in international waters near Venezuela.
