House Speaker Mike Johnson warned that livestreaming the planned execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan could provide recruitment material for terrorists, saying he intends to raise concerns from fellow Republicans directly with the White House.

"The concern would be that you would create a video that would be a recruiting tool for future terrorists," Johnson told CBS News. "We've got to think through the policy implications of all that."
