Reactions to report on Hegseth orders

And Congress is now investigating a Washington Postreport that claims Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a verbal order to leave no survivors before the first strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean. That report says a second strike was ordered after two people survived. CBS News Chief White House correspondent, Nancy Cordes, joins us now with more on this development. Nancy, good morning. Great to see you. Lawmakers are raising concerns over this new Washington Post report, both Democrats and Republicans. Update us on what's being alleged and the overall buildup in the Caribbean by the administration. Yeah, it was really notable, Errol, on Face theNationyesterday to hear both Republican, Mike Turner of Ohio and Democrat, Tim Kaine of Virginia, both say that this situation in the Caribbean, where US warplanes may have fired not once, but twice on a suspected Venezuelan drug boat after two of the people on board initially survived were basically, in the water and were ordered to be struck again to finish them off. Both of these lawmakers said this could be a war crime. This could be illegal. This could violate the laws of war. And there were other Democrats and Republicans on various Sunday shows saying the same thing. So now, the Senate Armed Services Committee and the House Armed Services Committee are both investigating. And this is on top of broader concerns that lawmakers have questions they have about what exactly the strategy and the plan is in Venezuela, especially after the president suddenly announced this weekend that pilots should clear the airspace over Venezuela, suggesting or implying that, perhaps, a strike was imminent. Take a listen to how Turner and Kane reacted to that. There is a buildup that the president has not explained in a way that relates solely to the actions that are currently going down in the Caribbean. It is certainly a significant concern in Congress. It's time for Congress to rein in a president who is deciding to wage war on his own say so, which is not what the Constitution allows. On Air Force One last night, President Trump was asked why he issued that warning about airspace over Venezuela. He didn't really give an explanation beyond saying that he thought that Venezuela was an enemy. Errol.

All right. Nancy Cordes at the White House after moderating Face theNationyesterday. Nancy, thank you so much.
