Republicans question plan to livestream Fort Hood killer’s execution

Key takeaways:

  • Hasan’s firing-squad execution is scheduled for Dec. 3.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson says he will bring Republican lawmakers’ concerns about the livestream to the White House.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says he does not see an elevated risk from broadcasting the execution.

Republican lawmakers are pressing the Trump administration to reconsider a plan to livestream the December execution of Nidal Hasan, the former Army major convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood, even as the homeland security secretary defends the proposal.
