FBI Investigating Tim Walz Following Shooter’s Handwritten Confession

In a bombshell development shaking Minnesota politics, a handwritten confession letter from accused shooter Vance Boelter has surfaced, directly implicating Governor Tim Walz in an alleged assassination plot against U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar. The letter, addressed to former federal official Kash Patel, has triggered widespread outrage and intensified calls for a federal investigation into Walz’s possible involvement.
Federal authorities have already indicted Boelter on multiple counts related to the June shootings that killed Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and wounded several others. However, this latest revelation is shifting focus away from Boelter as a lone actor and toward the state’s highest-ranking official.
The Letter and Its Explosive Claims
The letter, now circulating widely online, includes alarming accusations. Boelter, who claims a background in covert military operations, alleges that Governor Walz approached him with a “project”—to assassinate Klobuchar and another senator, identified in the letter as “Tina Keith” (believed to reference Senator Tina Smith).
According to a full transcription shared by multiple independent journalists, Boelter wrote:
“Tim wanted me to kill Amy Klobuchar and Tina ___. Tim wants to be a senator and he doesn’t trust ______ ____ to retire as planned.”
He claims he refused, prompting threats against his family and a subsequent ambush attempt, which he says led him to retaliate by carrying out the shootings. Boelter emphasizes that he deliberately spared law enforcement officers, stating:
“I didn’t fire one round at any police officers.”
He urges Kash Patel to confront Walz directly, pointing to public records that link them through the Governor’s Workforce Board.
Public Reaction and Political Fallout
The letter’s emergence has ignited debate across alternative news networks, independent platforms, and private forums. Prominent conservative voices have demanded immediate accountability and transparency. They argue that the specifics of the letter—including references to military training, policy motivations, and personal threats—justify an urgent FBI investigation.
Some political commentators and watchdog groups have noted that Walz has maintained a low public profile since the shootings, fueling speculation that the state government may be trying to contain fallout.
Meanwhile, critics and skeptics caution against jumping to conclusions. Some have described Boelter’s letter as the work of a disturbed mind, raising questions about his mental state. Yet others acknowledge that a potential connection between Walz and Boelter—especially if confirmed through official channels—cannot be ignored.
A Turning Point in the Investigation?
The FBI has not yet released an official statement regarding the contents of the letter or its implications. However, growing public pressure is forcing federal agencies to take the claims seriously. Legal analysts say if even a fraction of Boelter’s allegations prove verifiable, it could mark a historic turning point in both the criminal investigation and Minnesota’s political future.
