Back<\/span><\/p>\n transcript<\/p>\n \u201cIt Is the 22nd bipartisan briefing we\u2019ve had on a highly successful mission to counter designated terrorist organizations, cartels, bringing weapons \u2014 weapons, drugs to the American people and poisoning the American people for far too long. So we\u2019re proud of what we\u2019re doing, able to lay it out very directly to these senators and soon to the House. But it\u2019s all classified. We can\u2019t talk about it now. But in keeping with longstanding Department of War policy, Department of Defense policy, of course, we\u2019re not going to release a top secret, full, unedited video of that to the general public. H.A.S.C. and S.A.S.C. and appropriate committees will see it, but not the general public.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll be introducing a live unanimous consent request to release the video both to the full Congress, but also to the American people. The public should see this, and I hope that we\u2019ll have support to make it public. I found the legal explanations and the strategic explanations incoherent, but I think American people should see this video and all members of Congress should have that opportunity. I certainly want it for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n Following classified hearings for all the members of the House and Senate, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declined on Tuesday to release the unedited video of a boat attack in September that included a second strike to kill survivors.<\/span><\/p>\n By Meg Felling<\/p>\n December 16, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" new video loaded: Lawmakers Demand the Release of Classified Boat Strike Video transcript Back transcript Lawmakers Demand the Release of Classified Boat Strike Video Following classified hearings for all the members of the House and Senate, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declined on Tuesday to release the unedited video of a boat attack in September that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37769,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[7248,20810,522,5053,284,1349,94],"class_list":{"0":"post-37768","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politics","8":"tag-boat","9":"tag-classified","10":"tag-demand","11":"tag-lawmakers","12":"tag-release","13":"tag-strike","14":"tag-video"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/37769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Lawmakers Demand the Release of Classified Boat Strike Video<\/h2>\n
