President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he wants “a very honorable and honest investigation” into the controversial killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by a federal agent in Minnesota over the weekend.
“We’re doing a big investigation,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
“I want to see the investigation, I’m going to be watching over it,” he said. “I want to see it myself.”
Shortly after Trump spoke, MS Now, citing three people briefed on the matter, reported that the Department of Justice had decided not to conduct a civil rights investigation of Pretti’s death.
“And instead two units of the Department of Homeland Security will investigate their officers and the man they killed,” MS Now reported.
