Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has come out guns-blazing against reports that his lethal strikes on a vessel in the Caribbean could constitute war crimes.
Lashing out at a Washington Post story, in which the Pentagon chief is alleged to have blindly ordered troops to “kill everybody” aboard a boat near Trinidad, Hegseth branded the story “fake news.”
“As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland,” Hegseth wrote on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
