Overview
- CBS reported, citing two unnamed U.S. officials, that ICE agent Jonathan Ross suffered “internal bleeding to the torso” after the Jan. 7 Minneapolis shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
- Internal emails show a medical producer and senior vice president David Reiter pressed for details on treatment and severity, noting video showed Ross walking away after the incident.
- Staffers told The Guardian they believed the item resembled an administration-favored leak, and they said editor-in-chief Bari Weiss showed strong interest in getting it published.
- A CBS spokesperson defended the decision, saying the report underwent a rigorous editorial process, as several other outlets later echoed the injury claim with caveats.
- The FBI is leading the investigation into Good’s killing, and Minnesota officials say they have been blocked from accessing evidence.
