President Donald Trump announced Thursday that Nidal Hasan's execution, set for Dec. 3, will not be carried live online. Hasan, an ex-Army psychiatrist, was convicted in a military trial for the 2009 shooting deaths of 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas. Trump said the victims' immediate relatives may attend in person if they wish. The move followed concerns from some in Trump's own party, including Vice President JD Vance, plus faith leaders and overseas observers, about the Pentagon's earlier proposal to broadcast the proceeding. Recent surveys also found most Americans against an internet broadcast.
