A legal expert on CNN flagged a suspicious new detail that emerged on Wednesday about the death of ICU nurse Alex Pretti over the weekend, one that President Donald Trump's administration should have released by now.
John Miller, CNN's chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, reviewed a new video that shows a confrontation between Pretti and ICE officers in Minneapolis about 11 days before the nurse was gunned down at a protest. In the video, the individual who resembles Pretti can be seen kicking the taillight of an ICE officer's vehicle, and then wrestling with an agent afterward.
The video also shows that Pretti was carrying a gun during the exchange, which happened about two miles away from where he was killed. Pretti was not arrested during the event.
Miller flagged several details of the video that seemed suspicious, and discussed them with CNN's Erin Burnett on "Erin Burnett OutFront."
"The question is, are any of the agents involved in the confrontation we just looked at 11 days before the same agents who encountered him on Saturday, who ultimately led to him being shot to death?" Miller said. "One of the questions we've been asking as we look at that video is the government narrative."
"The first version was that he approached agents with a gun," he continued. "In fact, when you look at the videos, they approached him rather aggressively. And we don't know the answer to this, but if they were the same agents from the earlier encounter, were they still upset? Were they angry at him over what he did to their car? The fact that they tried to arrest him and he got away? Was that a factor? And until we figure out which agents were in both encounters, we won't know that."
