Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on Sunday accused President Donald Trump and top officials of his administration of putting out a “flat-out insane” narrative regarding the shooting death of a Minneapolis man during an encounter with federal immigration agents. “Unlike other folks who are not in the chain of prosecution or defense, they are. The first of what appear to have been as many as 10 shots was fired less than a second later, the video shows. “They want to say, oh, this has to do with fraud,” Ellison said, referring to an ongoing scandal involving members of the Somali American community. “Well, you don’t stop fraud with a gun and a mask and a violent man who wants to hurt someone.”
