Key Points:
- The FBI briefly opened a civil rights investigation into Officer Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot Renee Good, but the probe was quickly closed due to insufficient grounds.
- Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated on Fox News Sunday that the shooting did not warrant a federal investigation, emphasizing that DOJ civil rights probes are only initiated when appropriate.
- The FBI's Rapid Response account on X disputed The Washington Post's report, asserting that ongoing investigations focus on evidence and criminal actors, not a civil rights case against Ross.
- Following the closure of the civil rights investigation, the DOJ reportedly pursued an investigation into Good's widow, which contributed to the resignation of several federal prosecutors in Minnesota.
