“Kill everybody”? Reported, and denied
The Washington Post reported that two survivors of a first strike off Trinidad were killed by a second strike, and that two sources said Hegseth’s directive was “kill everybody.” Hegseth called the reporting fabricated. Leavitt rejected that he said it.
NBC reported the part that is not a denial: the White House confirmed the second strike, Leavitt said Hegseth authorized Adm. Bradley, and Trump said “Pete said he did not order the death of those two men.”
AP reported that legal experts say killing shipwrecked survivors would be a crime under peacetime rules and the law of armed conflict. PBS quoted military law expert Eugene Fidell calling the strikes “extrajudicial killings — that’s French for murder.” Both of those are expert opinions, attributed, not charges filed.
