WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he’s still weighing whether to release the full video of an attack on an alleged drug boat that killed two survivors. Hegseth provided a classified briefing Tuesday to congressional leaders alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other top national security officials. Hegseth is facing demands from Congress that he release the video amid a deepening investigation into the strikes. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer called the briefing “very unsatisfying” and said every lawmaker has a right to see the video. Congress is threatening to withhold travel funding for Hegseth unless the Pentagon provides the unedited video.
