Welcome to Meet the Press Now. I'm Kristen Welker. We begin with breaking news out of Minnesota.

We're outraged over yesterday's deadly ice-involved shooting has now led to anger and frustration

over how the

investigation into the incident is being handled. There are still major questions about what exactly

happened and whether federal authorities acted appropriately. Today, state investigators said they

are being shut out of the investigation after being told by the FBI that federal authorities

would be solely responsible for conducting a review of the incident,

and that Minnesota officials would no longer have access to case materials, seen evidence or investigative interviews.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walls responding, demanding that state authorities be a part of the investigation.

Minnesota must be part of this investigation. Minnesota must be part of this investigation.

These are nonpartisan career professionals that have spent years building the trust of the community.

They are trusted by people. People who are not by inclination trusting of law enforcement or government have come to see

the professionals at the BCA as true arbitrators that can get them justice.

I think it's clear to everyone as they saw this that it feels now that Minnesota has been

taken out of the investigation, it feels very, very

difficult that we will get a fair outcome. And I say that only because people in positions of power

have already passed judgment. At the White House today, Vice President J.D. Vance rejecting the governor's demands,

while lashing out at reporters and also pushing the administration's position that there is no

question as to what happened and why.

This was an attack on federal law enforcement. This was an attack on law and order.

This was an attack on the American people.

This is absolutely a tragedy.
