Bacon on report of Caribbean boat strike targeting survivors: ‘Let’s get the facts first’

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) on Sunday said he has concerns about a report that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” on an alleged drug boat in early September, but he said he wants to probe the facts before drawing any conclusions.

In an interview on ABC News’s “This Week,” the moderate Republican raised doubts about the validity of the story, published in The Washington Post on Friday, saying the events reported would constitute a “clear violation of the law of war.”
