Writing online late last night, Vice President Vance blamed local authorities in Minneapolis for the violence. He writes, quote, this level of engineered chaos is unique to Minneapolis and it is the direct consequence of far left agitators working with local authorities. Vance offered no evidence to support his statement. Separately, a federal judge has instructed the Trump administration to preserve all its evidence from the fatal shooting yesterday. U.S. district Judge Eric Tostred said the materials must be preserved so that state and local officials may investigate the shooting. Federal officials have previously refused to share evidence in the fatal shooting of Renee Macklin Good by federal agents earlier this month. In Minneapolis, a powerful winter storm is pummeling the central, southern and eastern US this morning. More than half the country is under some kind of winter weather caution.
