Chuck Schumer: “He says the Washington Post account is not correct, so why…”

“There are tapes in the possession of the Department of Defense that would show exactly what happened during these military strikes. Secretary Hegseth has an obligation to be truthful, so he should release those tapes. He says the Washington Post account is not correct, so why not release the tapes and prove it? If he refuses to release these tapes, it calls into question the truthfulness of the of his account. The tapes will show one way or the other what happened and whether Hegseth is telling the truth.” (06:51–06:58)
