President Donald Trump said Nidal Malik Hasan’s scheduled execution by firing squad will not be streamed. In an October 15 Truth Social statement, Trump said immediate families of the victims may view the execution in person if they choose.
Trump wrote that Hasan “will die, as scheduled, by firing squad, but this event will not be streamed.” The statement changes the public-viewing question by saying there will be no livestream or other visual broadcast. It does not announce a new law, court ruling, or executive order.
What Trump said about Nidal Malik Hasan
In the Truth Social post, the President described Hasan as a former U.S. Army major and said he killed 13 people and seriously injured 32 more. Trump also said a pregnant soldier and her unborn son died.
Trump said he believed a streamed execution could have been a deterrent, but said many people would not want to watch it. His stated decision was that the event will not be streamed.
What is scheduled and what is still pending?
The President’s statement says the execution is scheduled and identifies firing squad as the method. It also says immediate families of victims may attend in person. The post does not give an execution date, a location, attendance rules, or a public process for arranging family access.
Those details still depend on the authorities responsible for carrying out the scheduled execution. Families and the public should look for instructions from the responsible government officials rather than relying on social-media claims.
Why the decision matters to American families
Trump’s statement draws a clear line between accountability for the attack and a public broadcast of an execution. For families who lost loved ones, the stated policy offers a chance for immediate relatives to attend while keeping the execution off livestream platforms.
Readers following other presidential posts can also see Trump’s October 7 statement and Trump’s Roy Cooper claims for separate examples of what a Truth Social post says and what action it announces.
Bottom line
Trump said Hasan’s execution will proceed by firing squad as scheduled, will not be livestreamed, and may be viewed in person by immediate victims’ families. The Truth Social statement does not provide the date or operational details, so those remain matters for the responsible authorities to announce.
