President Donald Trump and his advisers were reconsidering a planned livestream of Nidal Hasan’s execution in the United States on October 13, ABC News reported. CBS News said officials were leaning against broadcasting the execution, scheduled for December 3, but that Trump had made no final decision.

ABC News reported that a defense official said Tuesday the Pentagon’s position was that the execution would be livestreamed, with details to follow. The discussions reported by ABC and CBS have not established a formal change to that plan.
