🚨Trump DOJ DESTROYS EVIDENCE in PRETTI MURDER?! - Meidas Touch
In a shocking turn of events in the Alex Pretti shooting investigation, the Trump DOJ in sworn filings to a Federal Judge, from the FBI, Border Patrol and Homeland Security, not only OPPOSE the Judge’s order for them NOT to destroy evidence, but they admit to: (a) trampling the crime scene; (b) destroying the chain of custody about evidence collected from the scene of the shooting; and c) can’t tell the Court where Mr. Pretti’s own handgun is, the alleged impetus for him being shot 10 x by Border Patrol.
Michael Popok explains that based on today’s hearing and these filings, Judge Tostrud is unlikely to lift his injunction, especially since most of the agents refused to tell the court that they had NOT already destroyed evidence! - 01/26/2026.
