Vance Boelter, the man accused of killing Democratic Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in June, told FBI Director Kash Patel that Gov. Tim Walz instructed him to kill other Democratic lawmakers as part of an elaborate plot, according to a newly released letter.
“Dear Kash Patel. My name is Dr. Vance Luther, Boelter E.d.D. I am the shooter at large in Minnesota,” Boelter wrote in the letter, according to the FBI. The letter was unveiled by federal prosecutors Tuesday after his indictment.
