Statement from Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty

"After the FBI rescinded its cooperation agreement with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, our office immediately began exploring all options to ensure a state level investigation can continue.

If the FBI is the sole investigative agency, the State will not receive the investigative findings, and our community may never learn about its contents.

We are speaking to our local partners on paths forward that will allow us to review the investigation and be transparent in our decision making."
