Admiral Frank Bradley briefed lawmakers on a controversial double-strike on a drug boat in the Caribbean, stating he acted within legal bounds.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied ordering the second attack, asserting Admiral Bradley authorized it under his authority and the law.
Survivors of the first strike were deemed legitimate targets because their boat was believed to still contain drugs.
The White House confirmed Admiral Bradley issued orders for the second strike, acting within his authority and the law.
