Former President Donald Trump has announced that the execution of Nidal Hasan, the former U.S. Army major convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, will not be live-streamed. Hasan, who was found guilty of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 others at Fort Hood, is scheduled to be executed by firing squad. Trump stated this decision in a social media post, confirming the execution will proceed as planned but without public broadcast. This decision comes after a legal battle regarding the viewing of executions, with Hasan’s attorneys arguing for media access. The Department of Defense has confirmed it will comply with the former President’s directive. The execution is set to take place at the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, not Fort Hood, Texas, where the original crime occurred. This marks a rare instance of a presidential intervention regarding the method of execution visibility.
