A high-ranking U.S. Navy admiral who oversaw the “double tap” strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean told lawmakers Thursday morning that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not order the second missile that killed survivors on board, in a closed-door briefing.
Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley, a respected Navy SEAL officer who leads U.S. Special Operations Command, showed House and Senate members on the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees footage of the lethal strikes conducted on September 2 and answered questions.
