Congress Demands Release of Secret Boat Strike Video

U.S. lawmakers are pressuring the Pentagon to release footage of a Caribbean boat incident. A new rule in the military's budget bill shows rare unity in Congress on the issue. The rule blocks officials from using government money to travel to the site of the event unless the video is made public. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said this proves Congress is united in wanting to see the tapes quickly. The video reportedly shows a U.S. Coast Guard boat striking a fishing vessel near Puerto Rico. The incident, which resulted in a death and injuries, is under investigation. The legislative move increases pressure on the Defense Department to release the footage to the public.
