How Hegseth's plan to livestream an execution sent the White House scrambling
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had what he thought was a good idea. A man convicted of going on a shooting rampage at a Texas Army base in 2009 had been sitting in a federal prison on death row for more than a decade, his execution on hold until a U.S. president signed off.

Trump approved the plan, but White House and Pentagon officials said they were surprised days later when Hegseth announced a twist: The firing squad execution would be “public,” the defense secretary told conservative activist Jack Posobiec in an on-camera interview, “because people need to understand that there is serious consequences for these types of things.” The Pentagon later confirmed his intention was to livestream the execution.
