Trump administration covering up Minneapolis shooting, Sen. Tina Smith says [View all]
Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) said Sunday the Trump administration is orchestrating a cover-up of the events surrounding the fatal shooting of Renee Good last week.
"I mean I think what we are seeing here is the federal government, Kristi Noem, Vice President Vance, Donald Trump, attempt to cover up what happened here in the Twin Cities," the senator said on ABC's "This Week." "And I don’t think that people here and around the country are believing it."
When host Martha Raddatz told the senator that was a serious allegation, Smith confirmed she meant what she said.
ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Good on a Minneapolis street last week. At issue is whether Ross had reason to do so, in particular whether he had reason to believe his life was in imminent danger. The Trump administration has argued that he did, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on CNN's "State of the Union" doubling down Sunday on her assertion that Good was a dangerous person who was breaking the law.
