Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the White House shifted responsibility for controversial strikes on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat to a decorated Navy admiral.
The second of the September strikes in the Caribbean has been called “illegal” by some because of how two survivors were seen clinging to the vessel, but were then killed, according to The Washington Post.
While Hegseth has been criticized after the Post claimed the embattled 45-year-old authorized an elite military force to kill all those on board, those in Trump’s orbit are beginning to shift responsibility.
