Trump weighs canceling livestream of Fort Hood shooter's execution

Trump and his advisers are debating whether to cancel plans to livestream the December 3 firing squad execution of the Fort Hood shooter.

• Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced last week the Pentagon planned to livestream Nidal Hasan's execution, a decision Trump was initially unaware of.
• Trump told reporters he had "two thoughts" on showing the execution and would make the final decision.
• The Pentagon is reevaluating livestreaming, and a broadcast may be cut before shots are fired.
• House Speaker Mike Johnson said the broadcast could become a terrorist recruitment tool and he would not watch it.
• White House sources told ABC News Trump fears livestreaming the execution could fuel extremist propaganda or damage America's image.
• Officials discussed cutting the feed before shots are fired or placing the camera outside the execution room.
• The Army has not conducted a firing-squad execution since 1945 and is still developing its procedures.
