Sept 2: the first boat, the second missile
The Washington Post reported that two survivors clung to wreckage after a first strike off Trinidad, and that a second strike killed them. Two sources told the Post that Hegseth’s directive was “kill everybody.” Hegseth called that reporting fabricated. Leavitt rejected the claim that he said those words.
The second strike itself is not the disputed part. NBC reported that the White House confirmed it, and that Leavitt said “Secretary Hegseth authorized Adm. Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes.” Trump’s line, in the same report: “Pete said he did not order the death of those two men.”
Military.com, summarizing the Post, said the boat held 11 people. After Sept 2, protocols reportedly shifted, and two survivors of an Oct 16 strike were captured and repatriated. AP reported that legal experts say killing survivors would be a crime. That is their opinion.

If the second strike is confirmed, what is still called fabricated?
