Trump cancels plan to livestream Fort Hood shooter's execution

President Trump said Thursday the Dec. 3 firing-squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan will not be livestreamed to the public, reversing a plan pitched by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Immediate families of victims may still view the execution in person. Trump said he believed a public broadcast could deter terrorism, but noted many people would rather not watch. The plan had drawn bipartisan criticism, including from House Speaker Mike Johnson.
