Good evening from New York. I'm Chris Hay's breaking news at this hour. We have some

exclusive reporting tonight from MS now about a top Trump official directly intervening in the

effort to deceive the American people about the killing of Renee Good by ICE earlier this month.

Now, we've known for a while now the Trump Department of Justice

is refusing to investigate Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who killed Good.

Instead, the DOJ wanted to investigate Renee Good and her grieving widow.

MS now previously reported that a half dozen leaders of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division

resigned in protest over the decision not to investigate Ross, something that happens quite

often in law enforcement shootings. Separately, several federal prosecutors who were based in Minnesota,

including the number two in the office, also resigned in protest of the decision to investigate

goods widow.

We've also learned that the FBI supervisor in Minneapolis, a person who sought to open

investigation into the killing of good, again, which would be essentially standard practice,

step down in protest over what the Trump DOJ is doing. Now, thanks to MS Now reporters

Carolinic and Kendallan, and we know that it was

AIDS in the office of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that directed federal investigators in

Minnesota to shut down the investigation into the killing of good and instead probe the victim

for possible criminal liability.

Three people briefed on the discussion say those aides wanted a criminal investigation into

Renee Good, who was shot three times at point-blank range while trying to drive away from officers

in her Honda pilot.

A federal judge rejected a warrant to investigate good, citing the fact that the woman had died.
