NORWICH, CT - Today, Congressman Joe Courtney (CT-02), Ranking Member of the House Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, released the following statement after he and his colleagues on the Armed Services Committee sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth demanding the release of all footage of the follow-on strikes in the Caribbean on September 2nd, 2025. Read the full letter here.
"My colleagues and I on the House Armed Services Committee yesterday demanded that the Department of Defense release all footage of the follow-on strikes in the Caribbean on Sep 2nd. Only eight Representatives have seen the footage, and it is clear from their accounts that grave issues of violation of U.S. military rules of engagement and the Geneva Convention must be flushed out. President Trump himself promised to release the footage, so this should be an easy decision. The American people and their elected Representatives deserve transparency."
