New reporting shows Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth may have violated U.S. and international law by ordering a follow-up attack on two survivors in the administration's controversial missile strikes on alleged drug smugglers.

President Donald Trump's Pentagon chief ordered the Sept. 2 strike off the Trinidad coast, but drone footage showed two survivors clinging to the wreckage after the smoke cleared – and the Washington Post reported that Hegseth gave a second verbal directive to "kill everybody."
