Tensions Rise Over Venezuela Boat Strikes as Senate Democrats Demand Accountability

In a flurry of statements, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats are intensifying calls for the release of footage related to recent boat strikes involving U.S. forces in the Caribbean. Schumer has accused Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of endangering the lives of servicemen and women and has labeled him unfit for his position, demanding that he testify before Congress. Amid growing criticism, Schumer urged for transparency, stating that Americans deserve to know the truth about the incidents. A recent report suggesting that Hegseth put troops at risk has prompted further scrutiny, with top Democrats expressing concerns about his judgment and credibility. The Pentagon is currently weighing the release of double-tap strike footage, as calls for accountability continue to mount.
