Feds release key evidence in Minnesota federal-shooting cases, fueling calls for transparency

Federal authorities have turned over previously withheld evidence—including body camera footage, hard drives, and the 2014 Honda Pilot—related to three shootings by federal agents in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge (Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Julio Sosa-Celis). The disclosure follows ongoing state-federal discussions and a lawsuit over access to evidence; Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty says there will be public announcements about any charges, though no timeline is set. The move signals a shift toward greater transparency as negotiations continue amid broader scrutiny of federal investigations into shootings by immigration authorities.

FBI withholds evidence in Alex Pretti case, Minnesota investigators say

The FBI has formally refused to share evidence in the Jan. 24 killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, which Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension calls concerning and unprecedented. The BCA says it will pursue legal avenues to obtain materials and would welcome a joint investigation if the stance changes. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty plans to demand the evidence from the DOJ and DHS; Pretti's family has urged a joint state-federal probe. A restraining order to protect evidence at the scene was briefly issued before being lifted.

"Trump Demands Classified Docs Trial Delayed Until After Election, Accuses Feds of Withholding Evidence"

Former President Donald Trump has requested a delay in his criminal trial regarding the mishandling of classified documents until after the 2024 presidential election, citing prosecutors' delay in sharing evidence and conflicting schedules with another federal criminal case against him. Trump's lawyers argue that the demands of the Special Counsel's Office should not infringe upon the defendants' constitutional rights and judicial efficiency. Trump is currently seeking the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
