A top Trump administration official said Sunday that the planned livestream execution of the perpetrator of a mass killing of US soldiers would not pose an additional security risk to the United States.
“I don’t see an elevated risk at this point at all because of this,” US Homeland Security chief Markwayne Mullin told CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” when asked if it risked turning the perpetrator into a martyr for his cause.
“I think people need to understand… if you attack America, we will come after you, and we will make sure that the punishment fits the crime,” he added.
