The Republican who leads the Senate Intelligence Committee says a video of a U.S. military strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean that killed two survivors of the initial attack shows “nothing remarkable.” Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton says he would not oppose its public release if the Pentagon were to declassify it. Cotton is partially aligning himself with President Donald Trump and top Democrats in favor of releasing the video of the Sept. 2 attack. But he is splitting with Democrats over whether military personnel acted lawfully in carrying out a second strike to kill the two survivors. Cotton spoke Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
