Trump repeats baseless claim that Renee Good was part of ‘leftwing network’ of paid agitators

President's assertion that only a paid agitator would scream at ICE agents contradicted by hundreds of video records

At the White House on Friday, Donald Trump endorsed his vice-president's baseless claim that Renee Good, the 37-year-old woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday, was part of a shadowy leftwing network" trying to incite violence" against federal agents.

Asked by a Fox News correspondent to expand on JD Vance's comments about Good, the president said that the vice-president is generally very accurate" and then cited what he referred to as evidence that at least one person in Good's vicinity when she was killed was probably a paid agitator".
