Summary

President Trump said Saturday he has not made a final decision on whether to livestream the firing-squad execution of former Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, scheduled for Dec. 3 at Fort Hood, Texas, where Hasan killed 13 people in 2009. War Secretary Pete Hegseth previously announced plans to stream it publicly. Trump said, "By showing it, maybe other people won't be doing what he did." Vice President JD Vance said he would not watch and questioned whether the livestream will occur.
