“We, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength,” Trump said, adding that Walz had called him “with the request to work together.”
“I told Governor Walz that I would have Tom Homan call him, and that what we are looking for are any and all Criminals that they have in their possession,” Trump added in the social media posting.
As outrage over the killing of 37-year-old Pretti grew, several senators from Trump’s Republican Party have called for a thorough probe into the killing, and for cooperation with local authorities.
Senate Leader John Thune said the decision to send Homan was a “positive development – one that I hope leads to turning down the temperature and restoring order in Minnesota.”
Trump however also doubled down on his claims about alleged fraud by Somali immigrants in Minnesota, whom he has repeatedly targeted in a series of racially charged comments.
He said the Department of Justice and Congress were “looking at” the finances of Ilhan Omar, a Democrat who is the first Somali-American elected to Congress, without providing details or evidence.
