WASHINGTON—Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said on Dec. 16 that the Pentagon will release to select lawmakers the full video of the September strike on a drug trafficking boat that killed survivors of an initial strike, but did not say whether all members of Congress would be able to see it.
The video will not be released to the general public, Hegseth said.
