The leaders of the House Armed Services Committee said late Saturday they are seeking âfull accountingâ of an early September U.S. military attack against an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the Caribbean after a report alleged that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered U.S. troops to âkill everybodyâ aboard the vessel.
âThis committee is committed to providing rigorous oversight of the Department of Defenseâs (DOD) military operations in the Caribbean,â Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), the chair of the House committee, and Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the top Democrat on the panel, said in a joint statement.
