House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said Tuesday that he was ending his committee's probe into the Trump administration's strikes on alleged drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean and Latin America.

Rogers and the leaders of the Senate Armed Services Committee opened the probe last month following reports that the United States military conducted a controversial strike that killed survivors of an attack on an alleged drug trafficking vessel in September.

The lawmaker claimed he does not need to investigate the incident any further, even though the committee is expected to hear testimony from the commander who ordered the strike and see unedited video of the strike in the coming days.

“It’s done,” Rogers told reporters about the probe, according to Politico. “I’ve got all the answers I needed.”

A spokesperson for Rogers confirmed the congressman's plans to the Washington Post, but his timeline for winding the investigation down was not immediately clear.

The announcement also comes the same day that House and Senate Armed Services leaders met with U.S. Southern Command head Adm. Alvin Holsey behind closed doors. Holsey is expected to step down from the post later this month.

“He said it had nothing to do with the operations in his command," Rogers told reporters of Holsey's exit, which comes after just serving in the post for one year. 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has praised Holsey's devotion to the U.S. military, which he has served in for over three decades, and defense officials have denied allegations that there was internal conflict over the drug boat strikes.

"On behalf of the Department of War, we extend our deepest gratitude to Admiral Alvin Holsey for his more than 37 years of distinguished service to our nation as he plans to retire at year's end," Hegseth said on X in October.
