Trump administration officials are leaning against livestreaming the execution of the ex-Army major convicted of the killing of 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, sources familiar with the discussions said. Last week, the Pentagon had said that the public would be able to view the execution live.

Alfozan was charged with trying to use an electronic, mechanical, or other device to intercept oral communications. Prosecutors said that Alfozan had worked at OpenAI as an engineer since July 2025.
