Summary
President Trump said he will "make a decision ultimately" on whether to livestream the firing-squad execution of former Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 people and wounded 32 others at Fort Hood, Texas, according to the AP, or "over 20" by Trump's count. War Secretary Pete Hegseth had confirmed plans to stream it publicly. A Fort Hood survivor said livestreaming would treat the execution as entertainment and "dishonors" victims.
