Minnesota Hit by Politically Driven ViolenceAfter a deadly attack on lawmakers, no direct contact from Trump; FBI offers $50K reward to capture the suspect still at large.
- Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has not received a direct call from former President Trump more than 24 hours after a prominent Democratic lawmaker and her husband were killed.
- State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were injured in a separate shooting carried out by a suspect impersonating a police officer who remains at large.
- Authorities discovered a manifesto listing Democratic politicians and abortion rights supporters as targets in the politically motivated attacks.
- Federal agents are assisting Minnesota with a $50,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s arrest, while the Attorney General vows full prosecution.
Well, it's a terrible thing. I think he's a terrible governor. I think he's a grossly incompetent person. But I may, I may call him, I may call other people too.— President Trump spoke to ABC News on Sunday morning about Governor Walz.
