The major questions facing Hegseth over a Caribbean strike

from Apple News Today

Pressure is mounting for transparency on a “double tap” boat strike in the Caribbean that critics say may constitute a war crime. NBC News reports on how Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is defending the administration’s actions. Trump pardoned the former Honduran president who was convicted of taking bribes from cartels that flooded the U.S. with cocaine. BBC News reports that the clemency comes as Hondurans are electing a new president. Services like 23andMe have revealed the existence of “surprise heirs” asking for a piece of the family inheritance. The Wall Street Journal’s Ashlea Ebeling explains how the development is throwing estate planning into chaos. Plus, ICE is set to crack down on Somali immigrants in Minnesota, a Republican win in Tennessee but Democrats gained ground, and why ‘Mad Men’ fans are catching some unexpected mistakes on streaming.
