Hundreds are suing the federal government after 20,000 gallons of jet fuel leaked into the water on a Hawaii naval base beginning last year, causing debilitating illnesses in families living nearby in an incident some are comparing to Camp Lejeune. "I couldn't taste it," Amanda Feindt, a mother impacted by the leak, said on Sunday's "Fox & Friends Weekend." Feindt added that those affected by the spill were never notified about it until other families started to smell and taste the water and begin to experience side effects.

Kristina Baehr, an attorney representing a number of the fuel leakage's victims, told Fox News' Pete Hegseth that the U.S. Navy is only taking partial responsibility for the problem.
