US officials plan to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan on December 3rd at 2 PM ET. The firing squad will carry out the death penalty for the former Army major convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas. Anonymous Defense Department sources told the BBC and Associated Press that the broadcast will be public.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated in an interview with Real America’s Voice that the event will be made available to viewers. He emphasized that making it public ensures people understand the serious consequences for violent acts.
The administration contacted major platforms including YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Meta, Rumble, and Kick regarding potential distribution. None of these companies responded before the story was published.
