Trump didn't have any problem releasing the Epstein files, either, but he's still keeping them under lock and key.
If it looks like a coverup, walks like a coverup, smells to high heaven like another hamfisted Trump coverup?
Yup, another hamfisted Trump coverup.

Sen. Cotton says he has no objection to releasing video of strike that killed two survivors

... A video of a U.S. military strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean that killed two survivors of the initial attack shows "nothing remarkable," the Republican who leads the Senate Intelligence Committee said Sunday, and he would not oppose its public release if the Pentagon were to declassify it.

Congress will vote on limiting Hegseth's travel budget unless he releases unedited video of boat strikes
There is bipartisan support to release the full video of the controversial strikes that day.

Tucked into Congress' massive defense policy bill is a provision that would limit Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's travel budget unless he provides the House and Senate Armed Services committees with unedited video of U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean.

The mandate in the must-pass piece of legislation " known as the National Defense Authorization Act " would withhold a quarter of the budget unless the Pentagon provides lawmakers "video of strikes conducted against designated terrorist organizations in the area of responsibility of the United States Southern Command."

It comes as a Sept. 2 "double-tap" strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean has come under intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill.

Congress should also limit Hegseth's expensive PSD detachment. US Army CID agents are exhausted protecting all of his private properties and they are not investigating felony crimes committed within the ranks of the US Army.
