FBI Advised Nashville Police to Withhold Covenant School Shooter's Manifesto

Newly revealed memo cites security concerns and potential for misinformation as reasons for suppression

The FBI's memo discouraged releasing the shooter's writings, calling them 'legacy tokens.'
Officials argue that publicizing such documents could inspire future attacks and spread false narratives.
The manifesto has been a point of legal contention, with some advocating for its release and others opposing.
Leaked documents suggest the shooter had political and ideological motives tied to gender identity.
The FBI's stance has drawn criticism from advocates of transparency and open government.
