President Donald Trump announced that the upcoming execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, the U.S. Army Major convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, will not be livestreamed. This decision reverses a proposal by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to broadcast the event. Trump confirmed that Hasan will still be executed by firing squad in December as scheduled, though he acknowledged that public streaming could have served as a deterrent.
