Congress on Dec. 4 hosted classified briefings on a deadly U.S. strike of an alleged drug boat in the South Caribbean in September that killed two survivors, leaving lawmakers on opposite sides of the aisle split in their reactions to the Trump administration’s increasing military buildup near Venezuela.
Navy Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley testified to lawmakers that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth did not give a “kill them all” order in the strike, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) told reporters on Thursday after leaving a classified briefing.
