Rep. Himes shares shocking details from boat strikes briefing; disputes key points in reported story

Rep. Jim Himes, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee was one of only a few legislators in a classified briefing on the September 2nd bombing of a boat in the Caribbean Ocean. Himes was able to watch the full, unedited video of the attack and hear testimony from Admiral Frank M. Bradley, the Navy commander who oversaw the operation. Himes spoke with Jen Psaki about the shocking details of the video and what he learned that contradicts some of the key elements of the Trump administration's story about what happened. Pete Hegseth's Pentagon has turned its press corps into a group of pliant acolytes, but that hasn't prevented a steady stream of important reporting on U.S. military affairs. And a grand jury declined to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, foiling Donald Trump's vendetta-driven DOJ again.
