Top U.S. officials briefed lawmakers on Tuesday about military strikes against suspected drug-trafficking boats.
During the briefing, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that key congressional committees will view the complete, unedited video of a specific strike from September 2. That incident was controversial and resulted in fatalities.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio joined Hegseth in providing the update to Congress.
The video will be shown to members of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees. These panels oversee the U.S. military and its operations.
The move grants lawmakers direct access to the raw footage as they review the event.
