Escalation: Hegseth Faces Bipartisan Outrage Over Execution
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Pentagon will let the public watch Nidal Malik Hasan’s execution by livestream. Hasan is set to die by firing squad at the Texas base where he killed 13 people in 2009. It would be the military’s first firing squad execution in decades and the first public livestream of an execution in the United States.
The plan drew criticism from Republicans and Democrats and sparked denunciations overseas. Senator JD Vance said he would not watch.
The execution is scheduled for December 3. It is unclear whether television networks can carry it after the FCC chairman declined to say if broadcasters may air a live execution.
