Trump posts he and Walz had a call, on "similar wavelength"

Get ready for Trump to throw Noem & Bovino under the bus—and maybe even the shooting agents too—as he desperately tries to be the hero and boost his cratering approval over this chaos. It’s what he always does. He’s the arsonist who then puts out his own fire & claims to be the hero. So predictable

Never believe a word he says. I'm sure that Governor Walz will have something to say about this.

The Minnesota authorities will be allowed to do their own independent investigations.

In a statement, Walz later expanded on the president's readout of the call.

"The Governor made the case that we need impartial investigations of the Minneapolis shootings involving federal agents, and that we need to reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota," the statement from the governor's office said.

"The President agreed that he would talk to his Department of Homeland Security about ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is able to conduct an independent investigation, as would ordinarily be the case. The President also agreed to look into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota and working with the state in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement regarding violent criminals."

Hopefully this means that the Minnesota authorities can investigate both the Good case and the Pretti case
