Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly delivered an order in the first attack on a suspected drug boat that lawmakers have blasted as excessive and "blatantly illegal." President Donald Trump's Pentagon chief ordered a missile attack on the boat Sept. 2 off the Trinidad coast, but intelligence analysts and military leaders watching drone footage of the strike realized after the smoke cleared there were two survivors clinging to the wreckage " and the Washington Post reported that Hegseth gave another verbal directive. "The order was to kill everybody," said a source with direct knowledge of the situation. The Special Operations commander overseeing the attack ordered another strike at Hegseth's instruction, and the two men were blown apart in the water " which a former military lawyer said "amounts to murder."
