Overview

• In a July 12 jailhouse interview, Boelter denied that his June 14 attack on former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband was tied to President Trump or abortion politics despite authorities calling it politically motivated.
• He said key details of his undisclosed, handwritten letter—allegedly outlining two years of preparation and claims of military training—have been withheld and he urged officials to preserve it against destruction.
• Boelter complained of harsh conditions at Sherburne County Jail, citing constant lighting, lack of proper clothing and prolonged confinement in a booking cell.
• He remains jailed without bail on state and federal counts including first-degree murder and stalking while prosecutors prepare grand jury indictments.
• Investigators have already seized a cache of weapons, military-style notebooks, a 70-name hit list and the police uniform and latex mask Boelter allegedly wore during the attacks.
