The Atlantic reports that Pete Hesgesth plans to live-stream a military execution that has blinded even his closest Pentagon advisers and sparked "fairly universal revulsion" in the Trump administration. According to the report, Trump faced private pressure from Republican lawmakers and advisers who warned that the broadcast would be barbaric, fuel ISIS propaganda and hurt Republicans in the midterms. Trump reportedly "missed it pretty quickly" after hearing the criticism, prompting Hesseth to leave the live show. Source: The Atlantic.
