AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
President Trump on Wednesday said he would support the release of any footage of the multiple strikes on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat from Sept. 2, while supporting the "decision to knock out the boats."
The Trump administration and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in particular have been under scrutiny in recent days, after The Washington Post reported the U.S. military carried out a subsequent strike on a boat in the Caribbean, despite there apparently being survivors. CBS News has not independently confirmed the existence of survivors, but the White House has confirmed the boat was struck more than once on Sept. 2.
