Republicans begin to tighten the screws on Hegseth’s Pentagon
"In a classified briefing for lawmakers scrutinizing the Trump administration’s killing of suspected drug smugglers around Latin America, top Republicans in the room appeared frustrated.
The Pentagon, facing questions about its legal basis for attacking civilian vessels, sent no lawyers to the October meeting — a move multiple lawmakers in the room considered inexplicable. The Defense Department officials who did attend, those people said, were unable to explain the mission’s strategy and scope — even as President Donald Trump openly mused about expanding the campaign to include land targets inside Venezuela.
As exasperation among Republicans over the lack of transparency grows, Adm. Frank M. Bradley is set to meet with lawmakers Thursday to discuss a Sept. 2 missile strike on a boat that killed 11 people, including two survivors who died in a follow-up attack as they clung to the wreckage. He oversaw the mission and is expected to tell them that he considered the survivors viable targets, not shipwrecked, defenseless mariners, said a person familiar with the matter who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private or otherwise sensitive conversations."
