据两位知情消息人士向CNN透露，唐纳德·特朗普总统及其顾问正在就是否取消对胡德堡枪击案枪手的行刑直播计划进行讨论。特朗普私下表示，他最初并不了解尼达尔·哈桑腰部以下瘫痪。
消息人士称，总统此前并不清楚国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟于上周宣布政府计划向公众直播行刑的决定，起初也不确定该作何感想。但多名官员告诉CNN，特朗普坚定支持通过枪决处决哈桑，并常在公开场合为这一决定辩护。
即便赫格斯瑟周四在X平台发文证实五角大楼计划直播行刑后，特朗普仍就后续行动征询了多位顾问和盟友的意见。
消息人士透露，正是在这些对话中，特朗普得知哈桑腰部以下瘫痪——他在2009年胡德堡枪击案中被执法人员击中背部——目前依靠轮椅出行，这使得公开直播行刑在总统看来不那么恰当。
一位知情消息人士指出，特朗普对视觉形象的深刻理解是他可能放弃直播计划的关键原因。一位特朗普顾问告诉CNN，总统还听取了相关论点：公开枪决可能会被外国对手和恐怖分子用作宣传素材，将哈桑塑造成烈士。
白宫周二让CNN参考特朗普周六的表态，当时他承认对此事“有两种想法”，并表示将做出最终决定。
“他极其凶残，实施了暴力犯罪，”特朗普周末在谈及哈桑时对记者表示，“有两种考量：不直播和直播。因为你知道，通过直播行刑，或许其他人就不会再效仿他的行径。所以我最终会做出决定。我清楚军方希望怎么做，但我们会一起敲定最终方案。”
据另一位知情消息人士透露，五角大楼也在重新评估全面直播行刑的计划。该消息人士称，即便最终进行直播，也很可能会在开枪前切断信号，部分原因是担心枪击瞬间会为恐怖组织提供宣传机会。
赫格斯瑟的办公室尚未回应就行刑直播计划是否有变提出的 additional 置评请求。
此前CNN曾报道，行刑直播计划遭到两党反对，五角大楼和陆军内部人士对此也感到意外。
特朗普周五对记者表示，他并未参与该决定，但称“我理解这项决策”，并补充称一些人希望通过直播行刑“树立榜样”。

赫格斯瑟最初建议对哈桑处以枪决——哈桑已被定罪杀害13人、打伤数十人——特朗普已批准该方案。
行刑定于12月3日在胡德堡执行，这将是二战以来美国陆军首次处决军人，也是65年来美军首次对现役军人判处死刑。
哈桑是巴勒斯坦裔美国公民，他称自己的目标是即将被派往阿富汗的士兵，目的是保护塔利班及其领导人免受美军打击。

Trump debates calling off livestream of firing squad execution after learning Fort Hood shooter was paralyzed

President Donald Trump and his advisers are debating whether to call off plans to livestream the firing squad execution of the Fort Hood shooter, with Trump having remarked privately that he did not initially know that Nidal Hasan was paralyzed from the waist down, two sources familiar with the discussions told CNN.
The president was not aware that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was announcing last week that the administration planned to let the public watch the execution, the sources said, and was not sure what to make of it at first. Trump was, however, firmly behind the decision to execute Hasan via firing squad, multiple officials told CNN, and he’s often defended it in public.
And even after Hegseth posted on X on Thursday confirming that the Pentagon planned to livestream the execution, Trump polled several of his advisers and allies about how to proceed.
It was during the those conversations that Trump learned Hasan was paralyzed from the waist down — he was shot in the back by law enforcement during the 2009 shooting at Ford Hood — and that he now uses a wheelchair, the sources said, which made showing the execution publicly less palatable to the president.
One of the sources familiar with the discussions pointed to Trump’s deep understanding of imagery as a key reason why he may decide to ditch plans for the livestream. The president has also listened to the argument that a public execution by firing squad could serve as propaganda for foreign adversaries and terrorists to try to paint Hasan as a martyr, a Trump adviser told CNN.
The White House on Tuesday referred CNN to the president’s comments on Saturday in which he acknowledged “two thoughts” about what to do and said he’d make the ultimate decision.
“He was vicious. He was violent,” Trump told reporters about Hasan over the weekend. “There are two thoughts: Don’t show it and show it. Because, you know, by showing it, maybe other people won’t be doing what he did. So, I’ll make a decision ultimately. I know what the military would like to do, but we’ll make a decision.”
The Pentagon is also reevaluating plans to fully livestream the execution, according to a source familiar with the discussions. Even if there is a broadcast of the event, the source said, it will likely be cut before shots are fired, in part, due to concerns that the moment could offer a propaganda opportunity for terrorist groups.
Hegseth’s office has not responded to additional requests for comment about whether plans to livestream the execution have changed.
The plan to livestream the execution has faced bipartisan backlash, and people across the Pentagon and the Army were caught off guard, CNN has previously reported.
Trump told reporters on Friday that he was not involved but said, “I understand the decision,” adding that some people “want to set an example” by livestreaming the execution.

Hegseth had initially recommended death by firing squad for Hasan — who was convicted of killing 13 people and wounding dozens of others — and Trump approved it.
The execution, which is scheduled for December 3 at Fort Hood, would be the US Army’s first such execution of a soldier since World War II and its first imposition of any death penalty on an armed service member in 65 years.
A US-born citizen of Palestinian descent, Hasan said he was targeting soldiers he was set to deploy with to Afghanistan and wanted to protect the Taliban and its leaders from the US military.
