- Gov. Tim Walz, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and all 13 Texas Democrats in Congress sought approval in June or later this month, but Abbott has not signed the warrant.

- Malicious cyber activity affected at least seven states according to the FBI; CBS News identified more than 30 affected community water systems in Minnesota, with some utilities switching to manual operations.
- Authorities have not definitively attributed the attack to any actor and cautioned that their assessment could change as more technical evidence is collected.
- No compromise of Minnesota’s water supply was reported, while South St. Paul, Braham and Plymouth maintained services during temporary manual or backup operations.
- The FBI, EPA and CISA warned of attacks on internet-exposed industrial controllers at water and wastewater systems, and CISA urged their prompt removal from the internet.
"I think that Minnesota is behind it," Mr. Trump said during a televised Cabinet meeting at Camp David. "You know who's behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I think the governor's behind it. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think that Minnesota ought to get its act together." "They're like to say, 'Oh, it was Iran.' Iran should be so lucky. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota," the president said.— Donald J. Trump, during a televised Cabinet meeting at Camp David, suggested Minnesota was responsible and questioned Iran's role.

- California denies the fraud claims and offers to cooperate, while the state attorney general reviews the payment deferral.
