Trump says Fort Hood shooter execution won't be livestreamed
Original: Trump says Fort Hood shooter execution won't be livestreamed after bipartisan backlash
President Trump says the federal execution of the Fort Hood shooter will not be livestreamed, walking back plans that had drawn criticism. The proposal to broadcast the death penalty proceeding sparked bipartisan backlash from lawmakers across the political spectrum, prompting the administration to drop the idea quickly.
Why now: The plan to livestream a mass shooter's execution provoked rare bipartisan opposition, making the reversal newsworthy.
