Trump Recasts Minneapolis Shooting, Calls Nurse an Agitator
President Trump reposted claims blaming Alex Pretti, the nurse fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis, calling him an agitator and perhaps an insurrectionist after videos surfaced of a Jan. 13 confrontation. Pretti’s family denies the accusations and notes his work helping veterans, while new footage challenges earlier assertions that he planned to attack officers. The episode unfolds amid Minnesota protests and the administration’s immigration crackdown, with officials acknowledging room for improvement in their actions.
