What happened: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth briefed Congress on a months-long military campaign against suspected drug traffickers at sea but reportedly hesitated to provide the full video of a boat strike.
Why it matters:
- Transparency concerns arise over military operations and evidence shared with lawmakers.
- Congressional oversight of defence actions may be affected by limited access to information.
MNN Take: The briefing highlights ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking at sea, while also raising questions about how much information military leaders share with elected officials.
