Rosenstein’s comments amounted to a striking concession that law en- forcement ocials made mistakes as they scrutinized ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. But even as he acknowl- edged the legitimacy of anger from Trump and his allies, he defended his appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to lead the probe and armed his support for the conclusion that Russia interfered but did not criminal- ly conspire with associates of the Trump campaign. “I do not consider the investigation to be corrupt, but I understand the president’s frustration given the out- come that there was no evidence” of a conspiracy between the campaign and Russia, Rosenstein said. His appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee was the rst in a series of oversight hearings scrutiniz- ing the FBI’s Russia investigation. The hearing served as the opening salvo of the GOP’s investigation into what Re- publicans say are damaging ndings from an inspector general review. Senate hearing draws 1st concession Eric Tucker ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS Prosecutors charged a Minneapolis police ocer ac- cused of pressing his knee against George Floyd’s neck with a new more serious charge of second-degree mur- der on Wednesday, and for the rst time leveled charges against three other o- cers at the scene, according to criminal complaints. The updated criminal complaint against Derek Chauvin says the ocer’s actions were a “substantial causal fac- tor” in Floyd’s death. “Ocer Chauvin’s restraint of Mr. Floyd in this manner for a prolonged pe- riod was a substantial causal factor in Mr. Floyd losing consciousness, consti- tuting substantial bodily harm, and Mr. Floyd’s death as well,” the criminal com- plaint said. The complaints against the other of- cers allege they aided and abetted in Chauvin’s actions. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said warrants have been issued for their arrests. Chau- vin was already in custody. Widely seen bystander video show- ing Floyd’s May 25 death has sparked protests nationwide and around the world against police brutality and dis- crimination. Chauvin was red May 26 and initially charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaugh- ter. The three other ocers involved were also red but were not immediate- ly charged. Ellison updated the complaint against Chauvin to add a charge of unin- tentional second-degree murder, in ad- dition to the earlier charges. He also charged Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao with aiding and abetting second- degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The unintentional second-degree murder charge alleges that Chauvin caused Floyd’s death without intent while committing another felony of- fense, namely third-degree assault. It carries a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison, compared with a maximum of 25 years for third-degree murder. The other ocers face the same max- imum penalties for aiding and abetting, if convicted. “George Floyd mattered. He was loved, his family was important, his life had value, and we will seek justice for him and for you, and we will nd it,” Elli- son said. Attorney Earl Gray, who represents Lane, told The Associated Press that he hadn’t seen the complaint or talked with his client. He said Lane was not in custody. Before news of the upgraded charges, an attorney for Chauvin said he was not making any statements at this time. Attorneys for Thao and Kueng did not return messages seek- ing comment on the charges. Attorney Ben Crump said Ellison had told the family his oce will con- tinue to investigate and upgrade charges against Chauvin to rst-de- gree murder if warranted. Reached by phone, Crump declined to speak be- yond the statement or make clear when Ellison had spoken with the fam- ily and whether he had been informed directly that additional charges had been led.
