Will Nidal Hasan's execution be livestreamed?
Yes. The Pentagon has confirmed that the execution of Nidal Hasan will be livestreamed. It has not yet said where the stream will be shown.
What the Pentagon has said
After President Trump approved the execution, a Pentagon official said:
"It will be livestreamed. Details will follow."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a video posted by official Pentagon accounts that Hasan is:
"going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be, and we'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public."
Where can I watch it?
No official link or platform has been announced yet. Any link claiming to show the stream before an official announcement is not official. This page will link to the official stream as soon as it is announced.
What time is it where I am?
The execution is set for Thursday, December 3, 2026 at 1:00 PM local time at Fort Hood, Texas. Hegseth said the time was chosen because it is when the 2009 attack happened.
