President Donald Trump stated he has not yet made a final decision regarding the potential livestreaming of former Army Major Nidal Hasan's execution. While Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth previously announced the livestream plan as a deterrent, Vice President JD Vance and several Republican lawmakers have expressed skepticism or outright opposition. Hasan, who killed 13 people and wounded dozens more in a 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, is scheduled to be executed by firing squad in December 2026. This would mark the first military firing squad execution in the U.S. since 1945.
