On January 3, 2020, Iranian Major General Qassem Solemani was killed in a targeted U.S. drone strike authorized by President Trump. What were the Trump administration's justifications for the targeted killing, and does it hold constitutional muster? In this interview, Judge Andrew Napolitano describes some of the prominent examples of targeted killings during recent administrations, including Solemani and the killing of American citizen Anwar al-Aulaqi in 2011, and explores the authorizations for use of lethal force under international and domestic law in the controversial targeted killing program.
