Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Pentagon will provide select members of Congress with the full, unedited video of a controversial second U.S. strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat carried out on Sept. 2, but that the footage will remain classified and will not be released publicly.
Speaking to reporters after he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed the full Senate on the Trump administration's counternarcotics operations in the Caribbean, Hegseth said the video would be made available Wednesday to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, along with commentary from the Navy admiral who authorized the strike.
