Well, there you go. Leavitt told reporters that Bradley — not Hegseth — gave the order and stressed that the veteran naval officer was “well within his authority and the law” when he did. "He directed the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat from narco terrorists was eliminated,” she said.

The coalition of lawyers cite a section of the Geneva Conventions to support their contention that Hegseth’s orders and those who followed them are punishable by law.

The memo from the Former JAGs Working Group came after The Washington Post reported Friday that Adm. Frank M. “Mitch” Bradley, who led Joint Special Operations Command at the time, ordered SEAL Team 6 to fire a second strike after the initial strike left two individuals clinging to the wreckage, in compliance with Hegseth’s directive.
