President Trump on Monday said he had a “very good telephone conversation” with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, following his earlier conversation with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump announced earlier that he spoke with Tim Walz and that Walz had agreed to work with his administration, amid the chaos and rioting in Minnesota.
This announcement came hours after Trump said he said Tom Homan will travel to Minnesota tonight.
Per CNN, Tim Walz described the call as “productive” in a statement.
Walz’s office said that Trump agreed “that he would talk to his Department of Homeland Security about ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is able to conduct an independent investigation” into the death of Alex Pretti on Saturday. Walz’s office further claimed that Trump agreed to “reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota.

However, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, during a press briefing afterward, said the President “did not make a commitment” regarding an investigation, while noting that “There are investigations into what took place on Saturday.”
She added, “Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI have teamed up for an investigation, and there’s also an internal CBP investigation, an internal review of what is happening on the ground in Minnesota. The president supports those investigations, and as I’ve said repeatedly, he wants to see them move forward.”
Trump later announced on Truth Social that he spoke to Jacob Frey, the radical left Mayor of Minneapolis, who previously told ICE to “get the f*ck out of Minneapolis.”
“Lots of progress is being made!” Trump said. “Tom Homan will be meeting with him tomorrow in order to continue the discussion.”
