“FBI to Release Transcript of Orlando Killer’s Calls With Police”
NBC
“The FBI will release a partial transcript Monday of Omar Mateen’s phone calls with police negotiators during a mass shooting in Orlando last week that left 49 dead, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Sunday.
Lynch said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that during the calls, a police negotiating team was trying to determine who Mateen was, “where he was and why he was doing this, all while the rescue operations were continuing.”
