The reporting
President Donald Trump is weighing whether to approve Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s plan to livestream the Dec. 3 firing-squad execution of former Army Maj. Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood, where Hasan killed 13 soldiers and wounded 32 others in 2009. The proposal has drawn objections from Republican leaders, Catholic figures and legal scholars, who say broadcasting the killing could become a recruiting tool or create security risks. In Australia, online safety chief Julie Inman Grant is said to have tools to limit access to the livestream, while politicians there have also raised concerns. Trump has privately signaled doubts after initially backing the execution plan.
