"KAITLAN COLLINS: In the meantime, as plans for a joint FBI and state criminal investigation into Wednesday's shooting were derailed, with officials in Minnesota arguing that the FBI is blocking them for participating in that interview or seeing new evidence. I asked President Trump today about this unusual decision to freeze out local law enforcement. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) COLLINS: The state officials there have said that the FBI is not sharing evidence with them. Typically, they would conduct a joint investigation, as you know. Do you believe that the FBI should be sharing evidence with state officials in Minnesota?"
"DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Well, normally I would. But they're crooked officials. I mean, Minneapolis and Minnesota, what a beautiful place, but it's being destroyed. It's got an incompetent governor, fool, I mean, he's a stupid person. And it looks like the number could be $19 billion stolen from a lot of people, but largely people from Somalia. They buy their vote. It's a very corrupt state. I feel that I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it for since Richard Nixon won it many, many years ago. I won it all three times, in my opinion. And it's a corrupt state, a corrupt voting state."
A confrontation at the White House occurred over an FBI-state criminal investigation into the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent as officials in Minnesota said the FBI was not sharing evidence. Plans for a joint investigation were derailed while state officials argued the FBI was blocking their participation. During a photo op with oil executives, President Trump called Minnesota officials "crooked," attacked the governor, alleged widespread theft and vote-buying among Somali communities, and claimed he won Minnesota three times. CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins corrected the claim that Trump had won Minnesota those elections.
