Skip to Main ContentAndrew Napolitano Says Pete Hegseth 'Should Be Prosecuted For A War Crime' Over 'Double Tap' StrikeFormer Judge Andrew Napolitano on Tuesday said his former colleague Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth "should be prosecuted for a war crime" after the U.S. launched a second strike to kill two people who survived its original attack on a suspected drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean on Sept. 2."It gives me no pleasure to say what I'm about to say, because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News," Napolitano, a senior judicial analyst for Newsmax, told the network. "This is an act of a war crime.""Everybody along the line who did it, from the secretary of defense to the admiral to the people who actually pulled the trigger should be prosecuted for a war crime for killing these two people," he continued.Hegseth and President Donald Trump have sought to deflect blame over the scandal, saying that Adm. Frank Bradley made the call to launch a second strike to kill the two survivors.See All UpdatesClose
